Lords division · 24 Oct 2006 · No. 1

Education and Inspections Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Walmsley, before Clause 71, to insert the new Clause (Foundation subject for first, second and third key stages); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 88

Contents: 85 Not Contents: 173

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 88 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), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
