Lords division · 4 Nov 2004 · No. 3

Pensions Bill

It was moved by the Lord Higgins, in Clause 173, page 130, line 17, to leave out “one or”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 45

Contents: 149 Not Contents: 104

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 45 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

How the parties voted

Conservative 78
Liberal Democrat 46

Labour 89

Crossbench 6

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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Lord Oakeshott of Seagrove Bay (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (147)
