Lords division · 17 Oct 2006 · No. 1

Education and Inspections Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Buscombe, in Clause 2, page 2, line 14, at end to insert: “( ) encouraging all schools to become foundation, voluntary or foundation special schools, and to acquire a foundation,”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 129

Contents: 99 Not Contents: 228

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 129 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: Viscount Bridgeman (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Baroness Crawley (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
