Lords division · 18 Jul 2000 · No. 2

Learning and Skills [HL]

It was moved by the Baroness Young as an amendment to Commons amendment 180, in line 4, at the beginning to insert ("Subject to subsection (7) below"); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 14

Contents: 220 Not Contents: 234

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 14 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).
