Lords division · 13 Mar 2000 · No. 2

Learning and Skills Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, in Schedule 1, page 57, line 5, to leave out sub-paragraphs (6) and (7); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 40

Contents: 75 Not Contents: 115

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 40 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

The party breakdowns are our own analysis of the official voting records (recorded votes only; they do not describe the formal whip). How we work this out.

Peers attend divisions ad hoc, so there is no did-not-vote list. Tellers are counted in the Content and Not Content totals, unlike in the Commons.

Tellers: Lord Burnham (Content), Lord Henley (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (73)
