Lords division · 9 Dec 2014 · No. 5

Care and Support (Deferred Payment) Regulations 2014

Lord Lipsey moved that this House regrets that the £23,500 asset limit proposed in the Care and Support (Deferred Payment) Regulations 2014 is at odds with Her Majesty's Government’s pledge that no-one will have to sell their home in their lifetime to pay for care. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 93

Contents: 54 Not Contents: 147

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 93 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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: Baroness Smith of Basildon (Content), Baroness Warwick of Undercliffe (Content), Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Not Content), Lord Newby (Not Content).
