Lords division · 19 Oct 2006 · No. 2

Education and Inspections Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Sharp of Guildford, in Clause 22, page 17, line 28, after “by” to insert “a two-thirds majority vote of”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 146

Contents: 36 Not Contents: 182

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 146 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 Roberts of Llandudno (Content), Baroness Sharp of Guildford (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
