Lords division · 22 May 2000 · No. 1

Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Strange, after Clause 60, to insert the new Clause (War widows’ pensions—entitlement); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 26

Contents: 143 Not Contents: 117

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 26 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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 Fookes (Content), Baroness Strange (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
