  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  The bill under discussion included a clause (clause 119) to repeal section 2A of the Local Government Act 1986.  Section 2A reads as follows.
  
  <i>
  <p>"(1) A local authority shall notâ</p>
  
  <p>(a) intentionally promote homosexuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homosexuality;</p>
  
  <p>(b) promote the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship."</p>
  </i>
  
  Edward Leigh proposed an ammendment to the bill.  The ammendment removed clause 119 from the bill under discussion.  Therefore, those voting aye in this division wanted Section 2A of the Local Government Act 1986 to remain in force.
  
  <p><i>The House divided:</i> Ayes 77, Noes 368.</p>
