Lords division · 22 Jun 2004 · No. 3

Higher Education Bill

It was moved by the Lord Renfrew of Kaimsthorn, after Clause 37, to insert the new Clause (Qualifying fees beyond first three years); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 54

Contents: 71 Not Contents: 125

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 54 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 Carnegy of Lour (Content), Lord Renfrew of Kaimsthorn (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
