Lords division · 8 Feb 2000 · No. 1

Learning and Skills Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, in Clause 1, page 1, line 12 at end to insert: (“( ) The Council shall appoint a Chief Executive on such terms as it determines who shall not serve as a member of any Learning and Skills Council.”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 16

Contents: 95 Not Contents: 111

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 16 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 Henley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
