Lords division · 13 Mar 2000 · No. 1

Learning and Skills Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, in Clause 1, page 1, line 12, at end to insert: (“( ) Not less than 40 per cent. of the members shall be persons who have current or recent non-public sector business or commercial experience.”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 65

Contents: 68 Not Contents: 133

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 65 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 Burnham (Content), Lord Henley (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
