  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  @ MP voted aye to require public money spent giving financial assistance in relation to the provision of infrastructure be only spent in relation to the provision of infrastructure within the UK.
  @ MP voted no not to require public money spent giving financial assistance in relation to the provision of infrastructure be only spent in relation to the provision of infrastructure within the UK.
  
  
  The majority of MPs voted against requiring public money spent giving financial assistance in relation to the provision of infrastructure be only spent in relation to the provision of infrastructure within the UK.
  
  MPs were considering the Infrastructure (Financial Assistance) Bill[1]. The amendment rejected in this vote was:
  
  :Amendment 11, page 1, line 6, after âinfrastructureâ, insert âwithin the United Kingdomâ. 
  
  This would have affected clause 1(1) of the Bill[2] which stated: 
  
  :There may be paid out of money provided by Parliament expenditure incurred
  :(a) by the Treasury, or
  :(b) by the Secretary of State with the consent of the Treasury,
  :in giving, or in connection with giving, financial assistance to any person in respect of the provision of infrastructure.
  
  Infrastructure was subsequently defined as including  (a) water, electricity, gas, telecommunications, sewerage or other services, (b) railway facilities (including rolling stock), roads or other transport facilities, (c) health or educational facilities, (d) court or prison facilities, and (e) housing.
