Lords division · 23 Jun 2026 · No. 1

Carbon Budget Order 2026

Lord Moynihan moved, as an amendment to the motion to agree to the Carbon Budget Order 2026, at end to insert “but this House regrets that the draft Order will increase the UK’s reliance on intermittent renewables, causing higher energy prices, further deindustrialisation and lower economic growth; is contingent on retaining a carbon tax which will impoverish households and industry; requires a reduction in livestock numbers and meat and dairy consumption; and will encourage the offshoring of emissions to countries with more polluting energy systems.” 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 Scott of Bybrook (Content), Baroness Williams of Trafford (Content), Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Not Content), Baroness Wheeler (Not Content).
