Lords division · 8 Jun 2004 · No. 1

Higher Education Bill

It was moved by the Lord Renfrew of Kaimsthorn, after Clause 20, to insert the new Clause (Academic Salaries Review Body); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 65

Contents: 57 Not Contents: 122

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 65 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 Norton of Louth (Content), Lord Renfrew of Kaimsthorn (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
