motion: <p class="" pid=".1540.2/1" pwmotiontext="yes">I beg to move, That this House insists in its disagreement to Lords amendment 1F to Commons amendment 1C, but proposes an amendment in lieu thereof.</p>
  
  <p class="" pid=".1540.2/2" pwmotiontext="yes">The House of Commons continues to believe that four regions must be included in the Bill, and that these regions should be the north-east, the east midlands, Yorkshire and the north-west. Earlier this afternoon, the House of Lords voted by a narrow margin to yet again prevent convenient all-postal voting in the north-west of England. Their Lordships voted by only 136 to 130 votes to drop the north-west from the proposals put by the Government and the House of Commons.</p>
  
  <p class="italic" pid=".1557.2/1" pwmotiontext="yes">It being one hour after the commencement of proceedings on the Bill, Mr. Deputy Speaker put forthwith the Question already proposed from the Chair, pursuant to Order [<phrase class="date" code="2004-03-08" pwmotiontext="yes">8 March</phrase>].</p>
  
  <p pid=".1557.2/2" pwmotiontext="yes"><i>The House divided:</i> Ayes 302, Noes 182.</p>
