Lords division · 1 Mar 2001 · No. 1

Special Educational Needs and Disibility Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Northbourne, in Clause 1, page 1, line 17, after “parent”, insert: “( ) the best interests of the child,”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 44

Contents: 102 Not Contents: 146

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 44 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), Lord Northbourne (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content).
