Lords division · 3 Jul 2002 · No. 3

Education Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Walmsley, to leave out Clause 42; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 25

Contents: 161 Not Contents: 136

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 25 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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 Sharp of Guildford (Content), Baroness Walmsley (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
