Lords division · 2 Nov 2004 · No. 2

Armed Forces (Pensions and Compensation) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Freyberg, as an amendment to the motion that this House do not insist on its Amendment 2, to which the Commons have disagreed for their Reason 2A, at end to insert “but do propose amendment 2C in lieu thereof”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

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