Lords division · 26 Jun 2006 · No. 2

Childcare Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Morris of Bolton, in Clause 7, page 5, line 6, at end to insert: “( ) Regulations under this section must allow for private, voluntary and independent providers of childcare to provide for between— (a) two and a half or three hours per day at the choosing of that provider, and (b) thirty three or thirty eight weeks per year at the choosing of that provider.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 12

Contents: 114 Not Contents: 126

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 12 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
