Lords division · 30 Oct 2006 · No. 1

Education and Inspections Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Walmsley, in Clause 1, page 1, line 5, after “Duty” to insert “to secure the right to a suitable education appropriate to the child’s needs”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 92

Contents: 65 Not Contents: 157

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 92 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 Addington (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
