§ 01Where the parties sit on pensions and retirement.9 divisions · this parliament

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.

27 Apr 2026Pension Schemes Bill: Motion relating to Lords Reason 88Q

15 Apr 2026Pension Schemes Bill: motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 35
Aye: Support the government's position by rejecting the Lords amendment, backing the Pension Schemes Bill as the government intends — including consolidation of pension schemes, mandatory scale requirements, and reserve powers to direct pension investment into private assets · No: Support the Lords amendment, opposing the government's approach — arguing that mandatory consolidation and state direction of pension investment are heavy-handed, that smaller well-run schemes should be exempt from scale requirements, and that the government is overreaching into people's private savings

§ 03MPs most aligned, by party.Top-3 most-on-whip per major party

By party, the MPs whose voting record on pensions and retirement is most closely tracking the party majority. A fuller “most active by speech volume + written questions” ranking is pending — needs per-issue speech aggregation.

§ 04Where pensions and retirement money lands.Council-service mapping pending
Pending — issue-to-service mapping

Mapping each Westminster issue to the equivalent council service bucket (so “Pensions and Retirement” → 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.
