Lords division · 14 May 2002 · No. 1

Education Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, in Clause 32, page 19, line 7, to leave out subsection (2); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 10

Contents: 129 Not Contents: 119

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 10 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

How the parties voted

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).

Every vote

Contents (127)

Not Contents (117)

Tellers (4)
