  The majority of MPs voted against requiring new academy schools to only be built in areas where there is a proven need for additional capacity. 
  
  The text of the defeated amendment was:
  
  :page 1, line 22, at end insert-
  
  :(za) if the school is an additional school, the school meets a proven need for additional capacity in the area in which the school is situated;'.
  
  If adopted the proposed additional text would have become one of the mandated characteristics of an academy school.
