  The majority No voters rejected a new clause[1] to the [http://www.opsi.gov.uk/Acts/acts1998/ukpga_19980031_en_1 School Standards and Framework Act 1998]. This would have abolished arrangements to allow a ballot of parents on whether grammar schools should keep selective admission arrangements. However, the amendment was defeated.
