Lords division · 15 Sep 2004 · No. 1

Armed Forces (Pensions and Compensation) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Astor of Hever, after Clause 4, to insert the new Clause (Widows’ pensions for life); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 3

Contents: 110 Not Contents: 113

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 3 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 Craig of Radley (Content), Lord Redesdale (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
