Further and Higher Education (Access) Bill — Second Reading — Selection on Merit — 4 Mar 2011 at 13:41

The majority of MPs voted against requiring further and higher education institutions in receipt of public funds to consider applicants from England on the basis of merit alone. This would apply to courses of study below post-graduate level and be subject to exemptions.

MPs were considering the Further and Higher Education (Access) Bill^[1]. The motion rejected in this vote was:

That the Bill be now read a Second time

The rejection of this motion meant the Bill made no further progress towards becoming law.
