Lords division · 15 Sep 2004 · No. 2

Armed Forces (Pensions and Compensation) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Freyberg, after Clause 6, to insert the new Clause (Post-retirement marriages); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 1

Contents: 111 Not Contents: 110

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 1 vote. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

How the parties voted

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 Redesdale (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (109)

Not Contents (108)
