Lords division · 24 Feb 2014 · No. 1

Pensions Bill

Baroness Hollis of Heigham moved amendment 1, in clause 2, page 2, line 7, at end to insert: “( ) Regulations may provide for circumstances in which a person may opt to have a year treated as a qualifying year if by aggregating income from two or more jobs, that person’s earnings are equal to or greater than the lower earnings level for that year.” The House divided:

The Contents have it

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 Smith of Basildon (Content), Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Not Content), Lord Newby (Not Content).
