Lords division · 11 Sep 2024 · No. 1

Social Fund Winter Fuel Payment Regulations 2024

Baroness Altmann moved that an Humble Address be presented to His Majesty praying that the Social Fund Winter Fuel Payment Regulations 2024 (SI 2024/869), laid before the House on 22 August, be annulled because they would significantly reduce state support for pensioners without sufficient warning and without a proper impact assessment, and because they present a significant risk to the health and wellbeing of many pensioners on low incomes. The House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 108

Contents: 30 Not Contents: 138

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 108 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 Pannick (Content), Baroness Altmann (Content), Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Not Content), Baroness Wheeler (Not Content).
