It was moved by the Baroness Walmsley, in Clause 18, page 14, line 3, at end to insert: “( ) a reduction in the proportion of elected parent governors on a school’s governing body”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

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 Roberts of Llandudno (Content), Baroness Walmsley (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
