Lords division · 21 Feb 2005 · No. 3

Education Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Hanningfield, in Clause 2, page 2, line 24, at end to insert— “(g) the behaviour and discipline of pupils and levels of truancy in those schools.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 7

Contents: 127 Not Contents: 120

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 7 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 Seccombe (Content), Baroness Harris of Richmond (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
