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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 27 Apr 2026 | Pension Schemes Bill: Motion relating to Lords Reason 88Q Aye: Support giving the government a time-limited reserve power to set minimum private-market asset allocation targets for pension schemes, arguing this will channel pension savings into productive UK investment without overriding savers' interests · No: Oppose mandating pension scheme investment allocations, arguing it risks poor returns for pensioners, amounts to government picking winners, and that the pension industry itself opposes compulsion — preferring facilitation over diktat | 280 | 165 | Yes |
| 15 Apr 2026 | Pension Schemes Bill: motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 77 Aye: Support rejecting the Lords amendment, accepting the government's position that a statutory review of public sector pension sustainability is unnecessary · No: Oppose rejecting the Lords amendment, backing the call for a transparent review of the long-term costs and intergenerational fairness of public sector pensions | 272 | 96 | Yes |
| 15 Apr 2026 | Pension 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 | 277 | 161 | Yes |
| 15 Apr 2026 | Pensions Scheme Bill: motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 5 Aye: Support the government's decision to reject the Lords' amendment and restore the original bill text on this pension-related provision · No: Support retaining the Lords' amendment and accepting the change the upper chamber made to the Pensions Scheme Bill | 271 | 104 | Yes |
| 15 Apr 2026 | Pension Schemes Bill: motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 78 Aye: Back the government in removing the Lords' requirement for a review of public sector pension scheme costs and sustainability, arguing it is unnecessary or outside the scope of the Bill. · No: Support the Lords' call for a transparent review of long-term public sector pension liabilities — estimated at around £1.4 trillion — and their fairness to future taxpayers. | 280 | 149 | Yes |

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.
