Lords division · 2 Mar 2005 · No. 3

Education Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Walmsley, after Clause 114, to insert the new Clause (Requirements to be registered); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 6

Contents: 119 Not Contents: 125

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 6 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: Lord Roper (Content), Baroness Walmsley (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (117)
