Academies Bill [Lords]

Debate between Nicholas Brown and Nigel Evans

Wednesday 21st July 2010 Commons Chamber

[Mr Nicholas Brown (Newcastle upon Tyne East) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Mr Evans. Rather a lot of Members who voted in the Aye Lobby seem to have slipped away. Will you please check that the count has been reported accurately?

[The First Deputy Chairman of Ways and Means (Mr Nigel Evans)]

Will the Tellers please come to the Table so that the numbers can be clarified? There now appears to have been a recount. The Ayes were 218, and the Noes were 321. The Noes still have it.
