Lords division · 8 Sep 2004 · No. 1

Armed Forces (Pensions and Compensation) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Morris of Manchester, in Clause 1, page 1, line 14, at end to insert: “( ) Any scheme established under subsection (2) must provide that there shall be no onus on any claimant under the scheme to prove the fulfilment of any conditions for a claim thereunder and that the benefit of any reasonable doubt shall be given to the claimant.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 55

Contents: 183 Not Contents: 128

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 55 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: Lord Freyberg (Content), Lord Morris of Manchester (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
