Lords division · 30 Oct 2006 · No. 2

Education and Inspections Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Walmsley, in Clause 8, page 8, to leave out lines 6 to 10 and insert: “(a) only if the authority receives at the prescribed time an excellent or good standard in performing their functions; or (b) with the consent of the Secretary of State in other cases where prescribed conditions are met.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 134

Contents: 73 Not Contents: 207

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 134 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), The Earl of Mar and Kellie (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
