Lords division · 26 Oct 2015 · No. 2

Tax Credits (Income Thresholds and Determination of Rates) (Amendment) Regulations 2015

Baroness Meacher moved, as an amendment to the motion in the name of the Lord Privy Seal, to leave out all the words after “that” and insert “this House declines to consider the draft Regulations laid before the House on 7 September until the Government lay a report before the House, detailing their response to the analysis of the draft Regulations by the Institute for Fiscal Studies, and considering possible mitigating action.” 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: Baroness Meacher (Content), Lord Patel (Content), Lord Gardiner of Kimble (Not Content), Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Not Content).
