Lords division · 13 Mar 2000 · No. 4

Learning and Skills Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, in Clause 6, page 4, line 15, to leave out paragraph (a) and insert: (“(a) require the Council to be allowed access to relevant accounts and documents and to be given rights in relation to computers, associated apparatus and materials which have been used in association with Council-funded provision;”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 59

Contents: 41 Not Contents: 100

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 59 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).

Every vote
