Lords division · 7 Jan 2014 · No. 1

Children and Families Bill

Lord Low of Dalston moved amendment 33D, in clause 30, page 26, line 5, at end to insert: “(6A) The Secretary of State shall lay a draft of regulations setting out the standards and quality of the special educational provision, health care provision and social care provision which local authorities must meet in their local offer, and the regulations are not to be made unless they have been approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament. (6B) Once regulations under subsection (6A) have been made, the Secretary of State must: (a) issue guidance to local authorities on how to meet these regulations, and (b) publish information on these regulations accessible to the families of children and young people with special educational needs on the Department’s website, and in any other way he sees fit.” The House divided:

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 Laming (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Content), Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Not Content), Lord Newby (Not Content).
