Lords division · 28 Mar 2023 · No. 3

Direct Payments to Farmers (Reductions) (England) Regulations 2023

Baroness Bakewell of Hardington Mandeville moved, as an amendment to the motion in the name of Lord Benyon, to leave out all the words after “that” and insert “this House declines to approve the Direct Payments to Farmers (Reductions) (England) Regulations 2023 as they would reduce the direct payments made to farmers for the 2023 year of the Basic Payments Scheme; considers that the implementation of this reduction in payments, combined with rising input?and energy?costs to produce food, risks the livelihoods of British farmers as they transition their businesses to producing food and public goods like environmental protection; and calls on His Majesty’s Government to?accelerate urgently the roll-out of the Environmental Land Management scheme”. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 97

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 Pinnock (Content), Lord Stoneham of Droxford (Content), The Earl of Courtown (Not Content), Baroness Williams of Trafford (Not Content).
