Lords division · 13 Mar 2000 · No. 3

Learning and Skills Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, in Clause 2, page 1, line 23, at end to insert (“or of persons who are above the compulsory school age but have not attained the age of 25 and who did not acquire a level 2 qualification in the year in which they attained the age of 16”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 47

Contents: 81 Not Contents: 128

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 47 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 Burnham (Content), Lord Henley (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
