Lords division · 19 Mar 2013 · No. 3

Welfare Benefits Up-rating Bill

Lord Low of Dalston moved amendment 3, in clause 1, page 1, line 5, at end to insert: “(1A) Any mandatory 1% up-rating stipulated in subsection (1) shall not apply: (a) to any components of the employment and support allowance (including personal allowances); (b) to sums specified in regulations under section 10(3) of the Welfare Reform Act 2012 in respect of an amount to be included under section 10(2) of that Act.” The House 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 Patel (Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Content), Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Not Content), Lord Newby (Not Content).
