Lords division · 8 Nov 2004 · No. 2

Pensions Bill

It was moved by the Lord Higgins, in Clause 284, page 235, line 25, at end to insert: “( ) Payments made under this section shall be made to eligible scheme members regardless of their other income or capital.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 22

Contents: 139 Not Contents: 117

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), Baroness Barker (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
