Pension Schemes Bill: motion to disagree with Lords Amendments 15 to 24, 27, 30 to 34, 36, 38 to 42, 83 and 88, insist on Amendments 88C, 88E to 88P, 88R, 88S and 88W, and propose Amendments (a) to (j) in lieu of Amendments 88A, 88T, 88U and 88V MPs voted on whether to override repeated Lords attempts to remove a government 'reserve power' from the Pension Schemes Bill — a power that would allow ministers to direct pension funds to invest in certain asset classes (such as private markets) if voluntary targets under the Mansion House accord are not met. The Lords had stripped out this provision three times; the government insisted on restoring it with time-limited safeguards running to 2035. Position: Support giving ministers a time-limited reserve power to mandate pension fund asset allocation if voluntary investment targets fail, arguing this underpins the Mansion House accord and ultimately serves savers' interests PensionsPensions Policyleftwith govt | Yes | 28 Apr 2026 |
Draft Immigration and Asylum (Provision of Accommodation to Failed Asylum-Seekers) (Amendment) Regulations 2026 MPs voted on new rules allowing the government to suspend or cut off housing and financial support for failed asylum seekers who work illegally, and removing the automatic duty to provide support in all cases. Supporters argued it targets misuse of the system; critics warned it risks pushing vulnerable people onto councils and charities without giving asylum seekers the right to work. Position: Support tightening asylum support rules by allowing suspension of accommodation and financial assistance where asylum seekers work illegally, and removing the blanket duty to provide support in all cases.

Privilege Vote on whether to refer Prime Minister Keir Starmer to the Privileges Committee over allegations that he misled Parliament about the appointment of Peter Mandelson as US Ambassador, specifically whether proper security vetting procedures were followed. The opposition, backed by several smaller parties, argued Starmer's repeated assurances to the House were contradicted by evidence that emerged from leaked documents. Position: Oppose the referral, arguing the motion is a political stunt that pre-empts an ongoing Humble Address process already agreed by the House, and that the Prime Minister's statements to Parliament were accurate Constitution and DemocracyParliamentary Accountabilitycross-cuttingwith govt | No | 28 Apr 2026 |
Draft Asylum Seekers (Reception Conditions) (Amendment) Regulations 2026 MPs voted on two sets of regulations that would allow the government to suspend or withdraw asylum support — including accommodation and financial assistance — from asylum seekers found to be working illegally, and remove the automatic duty on the Home Secretary to provide support in all cases. The vote matters because it affects the living conditions of over 100,000 asylum seekers and shapes the balance between deterring rule-breaking and avoiding destitution. Position: Support tightening asylum support rules by giving ministers power to withdraw assistance from those who breach conditions, as part of a firmer but fairer asylum framework.
