Lords division · 27 Jun 2000 · No. 1

Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Bill

It was moved by the Lord Higgins, in Clause 38, page 33, line 36, at end to insert: (““(4B) The regulations shall be based on the presumption that claimants have received incorrect or incomplete information unless the Secretary of State provides proof that the information the claimant received was correct and complete.””); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 31

Contents: 166 Not Contents: 135

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 31 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 Henley (Content), Earl Russell (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (164)
