EU referendum: Full list of peers who attempted to block 16-year-olds from voting

The Conservative government was dealt an embarrassing blow once again when peers backed calls to give 16- and 17-year-olds the vote at the forthcoming EU referendum, which will be held in 2016 or 2017. David Cameron's administration was defeated in the upper chamber by 293 to 211 on extending the franchise to the teenagers.

The 18 November result was welcomed by the SNP, the Liberal Democrats and Labour after the parties called for such an amendment to the EU Referendum Bill. Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron even hailed the decision as a historic result for his party, even though Labour peer Baroness Morgan of Ely tabled the amendment.

Farron said: "The Liberal Democrats have been fighting for this for decades, and we are winning the argument. This is a victory for democracy, we will give over a million people a voice on their future. In Scotland 16- and 17-year-olds proved that they not only have the knowledge but also the enthusiasm to have a say on their own future. Taking that away now would do them an injustice."

Ukip, which has three peers in the House of Lords, criticised the decision and accused the upper chamber of displaying "arrogance." Joe Jenkins, the chairman of Ukip's youth wing, said: "A House packed full of superannuated former politicians, with over 100 Liberal Democratic peers, and with clearly no mandate to make such decisions has decided that they need to load the electoral dice. Young people in Britain are no fools, but those below the age of 18, do not have to pay taxes, but are subject to huge amounts of pro-EU propaganda in educational establishments."

The decision comes after George Osborne and Cameron were defeated in the House of Lords over their plans to reform tax credits. The Chancellor is expected to unveil his revised reforms in his Autumn Statement on 25 November.
