Lords division · 14 Mar 2000 · No. 2

Learning and Skills Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, in Schedule 8, page 85, line 3, at end to insert: (“. After section 109 of that Act insert—“New grammar schools. (a) make provision for selection by ability; or (b) make provision for one or more of the following, namely— (i) any selection by ability authorised by section 101; (ii) any selection by aptitude authorised by section 102; (iii) any selection by ability such as is mentioned in section 99(2)(c). (2) Any such revision of the admission arrangements of a school shall be one of the alterations to a maintained school which are prescribed for the purposes of section 28. (3) Regulations may provide that in their application to any proposals for any such revision of the admission arrangements of a school, any provision of section 28 or Schedule 6 shall have effect with such modifications as may be prescribed.””); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

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).
