Lords division · 24 Oct 2011 · No. 1

Education Bill

Baroness Jones of Whitchurch moved amendment 57C, in clause 27, page 28, line 8, to leave out “during the relevant phase of their education” and insert “from the beginning of the school year in which the majority of pupils in the pupil’s class attain the age of 14”. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 64

Contents: 169 Not Contents: 233

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 64 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 Bassam of Brighton (Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Content), Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Not Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Not Content).
