Lords division · 20 Feb 2001 · No. 3

Special Educational Needs and Disibility Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, in Clause 2, page 3, line 31 to leave out (“with”) and insert (“who has, or whose parents believe he may have”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 89

Contents: 57 Not Contents: 146

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 89 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 Burnham (Content), Lord Henley (Content), Baroness Andrews (Not Content), Lord Carter (Not Content).
