Lords division · 17 Feb 2000 · No. 1

Learning and Skills Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, in Clause 98, page 43, line 34, leave out “(inadequate sixth forms)” and insert “(sixth form centres)”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 35

Contents: 79 Not Contents: 114

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 35 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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).

Every vote

Contents (77)

Not Contents (112)
