Lords division · 8 Feb 2000 · No. 3

Learning and Skills Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, in Clause 2, page 2, line 17, to leave out (“best”) and insert (“most cost effective”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 55

Contents: 35 Not Contents: 90

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 55 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), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
