Lords division · 2 May 2002 · No. 1

Education Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, in Clause 1, page 1, line 8, after “State” to insert “or the Chief Inspector”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 58

Contents: 75 Not Contents: 133

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 58 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
