Lords division · 4 Nov 2004 · No. 4

Pensions Bill

It was moved by the Lord Higgins to leave out Clause 175 and insert the following new Clause (Amounts to be raised for the pension protection levies); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 30

Contents: 136 Not Contents: 106

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 30 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Lord Roper (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (134)

Not Contents (104)
