Lords division · 4 Nov 2004 · No. 5

Pensions Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Hollis of Heigham, in Clause 241, page 178, line 16, at end to insert: “(A1) The Secretary of State may, by order, amend sections 239(1)(a) and (4) and 240(1)(a) and (4) by substituting, in each of those provisions, “one-half” for “one-third”.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 6

Contents: 102 Not Contents: 96

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 6 votes. The Government's position was 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 Davies of Oldham (Content), Lord Grocott (Content), Lord Cope of Berkeley (Not Content), Baroness Barker (Not Content).
