Lords division · 8 Nov 2004 · No. 1

Pensions Bill

It was moved by the Lord Higgins, in Clause 284, page 235, line 24, after “payments” to insert “entirely from public funds with no charges, levies or contributions to be made by the private sector”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 22

Contents: 132 Not Contents: 110

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 22 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).

Contents (130)
