Lord de Mauley moved amendment 124B, after clause 47, to insert the new clause Basic reading assessment for persons subject to youth detention. The Committee divided:

The Contents have it

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 Anelay of St Johns (Content), Lord Ramsbotham (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content), Baroness Thornton (Not Content).
