Lords division · 14 Mar 2000 · No. 1

Learning and Skills Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, after Clause 97, to insert the following new Clause, (Grammar schools: retention of selective admission arrangements); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 5

Contents: 166 Not Contents: 161

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 5 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

How the parties voted

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

Contents (164)

Not Contents (159)

Tellers (4)
