Lords division · 14 May 2002 · No. 2

Education Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, in Clause 41, page 27, line 17, after “shall” to insert “if requested by a majority of governing bodies of maintained schools in their area”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 42

Contents: 78 Not Contents: 120

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 42 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), Lord Rotherwick (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
