Lords division · 7 May 2002 · No. 1

Education Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, in Clause 7, page 5, line 37, at end to insert “and, in particular, the parents of pupils with special educational needs”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 10

Contents: 96 Not Contents: 106

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 10 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).
