How MLAs voted on Stormont integrated education bill

The Stormont vote on whether to pass an integrated education bill has been conducted on a straight majority basis, after the Ulster Unionist Party refused to back a DUP petition of concern.

The DUP had claimed the private members’ bill put forward by Alliance Party MLA Kellie Armstrong elevated the integrated sector above other school sectors in Northern Ireland.

The party tried to block the Integrated Education Bill by using the Northern Ireland Assembly veto mechanism that would have meant it needed secure a majority of both nationalist and unionist MLAs to pass.

However, securing a valid petition of concern required 30 signatures.

The UUP refused to back the petition, even though the party did not support the Bill – which ultimately passed by 49 votes to 38.
