Lords division · 23 Mar 2000 · No. 1

Learning and Skills Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Pilkington of Oxenford, in Clause 2, page 2, line 28, at end to insert:(“(e) disproportionate expenditure is expenditure that is wasteful or unrelated to the duties and functions of the Council, but shall not be taken to mean expenditure on provision that, by its nature, has higher unit costs than other forms of provision”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 46

Contents: 173 Not Contents: 127

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 46 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 Peyton of Yeovil (Content), Lord Pilkington of Oxenford (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
