Pensions Bill

Lord McKenzie of Luton moved amendment 89, in clause 29, page 13, line 36, at end to insert: "( ) Regulations prescribing arrangements for the purposes of section 3(2), 5(2), 6(3) or 8(2) may require the employer to make such a deduction or payment at any time on or after the date with effect from which the jobholder is to become an active member of a scheme under the arrangements." The Committee divided:

The party breakdowns are our own analysis of the official voting records (recorded votes only; they do not describe the formal whip). How we work this out.

Peers attend divisions ad hoc, so there is no did-not-vote list. Tellers are counted in the Content and Not Content totals, unlike in the Commons.

Tellers: Lord Bassam of Brighton (Content), Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Content), Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Not Content), Lord De Mauley (Not Content).
