Lords division · 15 Nov 2004 · No. 3

Pensions Bill

It was moved by the Lord Oakeshott of Seagrove Bay, in Schedule 1, page 271, line 3, at end to insert: “Pension arrangements The Regulator shall make pension provision for its chief executive and employees by means of a funded defined benefit pension scheme with rates of employer and employee contributions, benefits and indexation of pensions in payment, all broadly comparable to those provided to new members by the 100 pension schemes with the highest number of members for whom levies are payable to the Pension Protection Fund.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 59

Contents: 73 Not Contents: 132

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 59 votes. The Government's position was Not 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: Baroness Barker (Content), Lord Roper (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
