Lords division · 24 Oct 2006 · No. 2

Education and Inspections Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Buscombe, in Clause 71, page 52, line 22, at end to insert: “( ) A pupil in the fourth key stage is entitled, if he so elects, to follow a course of study in science that leads to separate qualifications in— (a) biology, (b) chemistry, and (c) physics.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 87

Contents: 121 Not Contents: 208

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 87 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 Luke (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
