Voting Now on Lib Dem Amendment

...to the CSF Bill: that the CSF bill will undermine the freedoms of home educators. Result due at 22.15.

Well, we lost: the amendment didn't pass: 211 Yays, 288 Nos, which is not surprising considering that the Labour party whip would have been employed. However the many impassioned and well-argued speeches and the strong opposition to the bill in the house will send a strong message to the Public Bill Committee - (the next part of the progress of the bill.)

We know there is to be a Committee hearing on 19th January, 17.15 to 19.00 hours.
