Lords division · 12 Feb 2002 · No. 1

State Pension Credit Bill [HL]

It was moved by the Lord Higgins, after Clause 10, to insert the new Clause (Annual Report); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 20

Contents: 123 Not Contents: 143

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 20 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: Lord Cope of Berkeley (Content), Lord Addington (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote
