Lords division · 23 Mar 2000 · No. 2

Learning and Skills Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Sharp of Guildford, in Clause 103, page 47, line 2, at end to insert: (“( ) In exercising his powers under this section, the Secretary of State shall ensure that any action he takes—(a) does not adversely affect the quantity or quality of existing information, advice and guidance services provided for young people; (b) fulfils his duties to all young people under sections 8, 9 and 10 of the Employment and Training Act 1973 and sections 43, 44 and 45 of the Education Act 1997.”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 15

Contents: 157 Not Contents: 142

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 15 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: Lord Addington (Content), Lord Tope (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (155)

Not Contents (140)

Tellers (4)
