Most-recent divisions
Each row is one party. The bar shows how its MPs voted relative to a neutral midpoint — to the right = on-side with the majority position, to the left = opposed. The percentage figure is the share of that party’s MPs who took the same side: higher = more whip-disciplined, closer to 50% = a freer vote.

| Date | Motion | Aye | No | Carried |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 Nov 2025 | Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill: motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 43 Aye: Support the government's rejection of the Lords requirement for the independent reviewer to include a statement in every report confirming they received all necessary material, on the basis that existing safeguards already ensure this · No: Support the Lords amendment's additional transparency safeguard requiring the independent reviewer to explicitly confirm in each report whether they received all material needed, as a check on government compliance | 268 | 82 | Yes |
| 29 Apr 2025 | Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill Report Stage: New Clause 1 Aye: Support delaying use of recovery powers against Carer's Allowance recipients until an independent review is conducted, protecting vulnerable carers from enforcement action · No: Oppose the delay, preferring to proceed with the Bill's recovery powers without waiting for an independent review of Carer's Allowance overpayments | 75 | 254 | No |
| 29 Apr 2025 | Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill Report Stage: New Clause 21 Aye: Support adding Conservative-proposed safeguards and proportionality measures to the fraud and error recovery powers in the Bill · No: Oppose the Conservative amendments, preferring the Government's version of the Bill without additional opposition-drafted constraints on recovery powers | 97 | 258 | No |
| 29 Apr 2025 | Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill Report Stage: Amendment 11 Aye: Support limiting the eligibility verification power to cases where fraud is already suspected, protecting benefit claimants from being treated as automatic suspects · No: Oppose the restriction, backing the government's broader data-sharing power to detect benefit overpayments and errors at an early stage without needing prior suspicion of fraud | 88 | 240 | No |
| 29 Apr 2025 | Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill Report Stage: New Clause 10 Aye: Support adding a new specific debt recovery mechanism to the Bill, arguing it would strengthen the government's ability to reclaim money from those who refuse to pay despite having means · No: Oppose the new clause as unnecessary, on the grounds that existing DWP legislation and Clause 16 of the Bill already provide sufficient and equivalent civil recovery powers | 103 | 259 | No |

Pending — issue-to-service mapping
Mapping each Westminster issue to the equivalent council service bucket (so “Fraud” → the matching service line on council finance, with the ranked-spend table this section wants) is its own taxonomy job. Council service spend lives on the council pages today; cross-cut by issue here in a follow-on pass.
