Lords division · 22 Jun 2004 · No. 1

Higher Education Bill

It was moved by the Lord Shutt of Greetland, after Clause 25, to insert the new Clause (Repayment of fees via voluntary service); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 10

Contents: 145 Not Contents: 155

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