IN your report ("Lords impose defeat", 3 March) of the debate in the Lords on Student Fees you said that Lord Glenamara (Ted Short) and the Earl of Longford voted against the Government on the amendment that was carried by 143 to 102. In fact, on that amendment, Lord Glenamara abstained and Lord Longford voted with the Government.
