Lords division · 30 Oct 2006 · No. 4

Education and Inspections Bill

It was moved by the Lord Baker of Dorking, after Clause 45, to insert the new Clause (Admission arrangements for additional schools with religious character); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 82

Contents: 37 Not Contents: 119

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 82 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: Earl of Onslow (Content), Baroness Flather (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
