Lords division · 30 Oct 2006 · No. 3

Education and Inspections Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Turner of Camden, in Clause 37, page 28, line 11, to leave out subsection (1); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 97

Contents: 78 Not Contents: 175

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 97 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: Baroness David (Content), The Earl of Mar and Kellie (Content), Baroness Crawley (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
