Main Estimates 2018-19 – in the House of Commons at 7:00 pm on 3rd July 2018.
Question put,
That, for the year ending with
(1) the resources authorised for use for current purposes be reduced by £294,563,000, as set out in HC 957 of Session 2017–19,
(2) the resources authorised for use for capital purposes be reduced by £6,293,934,000 as so set out, and
(3) the sum granted to Her Majesty to be issued by the Treasury out of the Consolidated Fund and applied for expenditure on the use of resources authorised by Parliament be reduced by £4,632,925,000.
I think the Ayes have it. [Interruption.] I think the Ayes have it. [Hon. Members: “No!”] Order. I have tried to discern from the voices whether the Ayes or the Noes have more votes, but I am unable to do so owing to the extreme number of voices involved. I therefore have no option but to call a Division.
The House divided:
Ayes 239, Noes 33.
