Lords division · 14 Jun 2004 · No. 1

Higher Education Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Perry of Southwark, in Clause 29, page 14, line 6, at end to insert “who shall be subject to the principles of the Civil Service Commissioners’ Recruitment Code”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 20

Contents: 142 Not Contents: 122

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 20 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 Perry of Southwark (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (140)

Not Contents (120)
