Lords division · 23 Mar 2000 · No. 3

Learning and Skills Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Young as an amendment to new Clause (Sex Education: Secretary of State’s Guidance) in line 12 after (“marriage”) to insert (“as the key building block of society”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 15

Contents: 190 Not Contents: 175

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 Henley (Content), Baroness Young (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (188)
