Lords division · 21 Feb 2005 · No. 2

Education Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Sharp of Guildford, in Clause 2, page 2, line 24, at end to insert “, and ( ) the degree to which schools are developing rigorous internal procedures of self-evaluation”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 19

Contents: 144 Not Contents: 125

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 19 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 Harris of Richmond (Content), Baroness Sharp of Guildford (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
