Lords division · 8 Jun 2004 · No. 4

Higher Education Bill

It was moved by the Lord Phillips of Sudbury, in Clause 27, page 13, line 35, at end to insert: “( ) Student fees paid to relevant institutions pursuant to this Act shall in principle be additional to and not in replacement of state funding provided for and in respect of the teaching of undergraduate students at such institutions which funding will be at an annual real level per student not less than the average provided over the previous three years.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 10

Contents: 98 Not Contents: 88

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 10 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: Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Phillips of Sudbury (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
