Lords division · 22 Jun 2004 · No. 2

Higher Education Bill

It was moved by the Lord Roberts of Conwy, in Clause 32, page 16, line 36, to leave out “In relation to England,”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 15

Contents: 100 Not Contents: 115

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 15 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), Baroness Wilcox (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
