Lords division · 25 Apr 2006 · No. 2

Work and Families Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Miller of Hendon, in Clause 14, page 12, line 10, at end to insert: “( ) The higher sum so specified shall not be greater than 110 per cent of the current maximum amount of a week’s pay immediately prior to the date of the order.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 61

Contents: 75 Not Contents: 136

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 61 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: Viscount Bridgeman (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
