Lords division · 26 Jun 2002 · No. 2

Education Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, after Clause 67, to insert the new Clause “Maintenance, expansion and funding of school sixth forms”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 2

Contents: 130 Not Contents: 132

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 2 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: Baroness Seccombe (Content), Baroness Walmsley (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (128)

Not Contents (130)

Tellers (4)
