Scotland's youngest MP was one of two Scottish Labour MPs not to vote to cut winter fuel payments for pensioners on Tuesday.

Voting records released this afternoon by the House of Commons revealed Euan Stainbank, who was 24 when elected in July, and Kenneth Stevenson were among 53 Labour MPs not to support the move by Sir Keir Starmer's government.

Mr Stainbank, the MP for Falkirk,  and Mr Stevenson, who represents Airdrie and Shotts, did not vote, the records show.

The remaining 35 Scottish Labour MPs supported the government's plan to means test the benefit, given to pensioners to help pay for the cost of heating their homes in the coldest months.

Sir Keir suffered the biggest rebellion of his leadership after dozens of Labour MPs defied him over cuts to winter fuel payments.

Some 52 Labour MPs - including seven ministers, abstained from the House of Commons vote, while one Labour MP voted against the government.

The vote, on a motion tabled by the Conservatives opposing the cut, took place after a rowdy debate in the Commons where the Labour government was told pensioners would die as a result of the withdrawal of the universal benefit with only those in receipt of eligible benefits such as pension credit still able to receive it.

MPs were also told that pensioners in Scotland would be worst hit because of the country's cold winters.

But the policy was passed after an attempt by the Conservatives to block the cut was defeated. A total of 348 MPs backed the government, while 228 supported the motion.

Jon Trickett, the only Labour MP to vote with the opposition to block the cut, said he rebelled “to defend his constituents”.

The MP for Normanton & Hemsworth said he would “sleep well tonight know[ing] that I voted to defend my constituents”.

It is unclear what punishment Sir Keir Starmer will hand Mr Trickett. Last month he suspended seven MPs from the Labour Party after they supported an amendment to scrap the two-child benefit limit.

In a statement on social media, Mr Trickett said: “I fear that removing the payment from pensioners will mean that many more will fall into poverty this winter.

“Our country is richer than it’s ever been, but the wealth is not shared fairly. In my view the government should be looking to raise revenues from the wealthiest in society, not working class pensioners.

“I could not in good conscience vote to make my constituents poorer. I will sleep well tonight know[ing] that I voted to defend my constituents.”

Having no vote recorded does not necessarily mean that an MP actively chose to abstain - for example, some may be unable to attend due to other commitments.

As well as the ministers, it is understood some on the list had been "slipped", meaning they were given permission not to attend.

A dozen of those who had no vote recorded were not authorised to be absent, the PA news agency understands.

It is not clear if Mr Stainbank and Mr Stevenson had an authorisation to be absent.

Of the seven former Labour backbenchers who lost the whip after defying the Government over the two-child benefit cap earlier this year, five - Apsana Begum, Zarah Sultana, John McDonnell, Ian Byrne and Richard Burgon - voted with the opposition.

Two - Rebecca Long-Bailey and Imran Hussain - abstained, according to the voting list.

Ministers insist the measure is necessary in order to fill a "£22 billion black hole" in the public finances which they say was left behind by their Tory predecessors.

But someLabour  backbenchers had said they felt unable to back the cut, which will see millions of pensioners lose the annual payment of up to £300 and only those claiming pension credit or other means-tested benefits continue to receive help with their energy bills this winter.

The Prime Minister's spokeswoman said after the vote that he welcomes the progress of the policy.

She told journalists: "The Prime Minister has been clear about the importance of this policy, and while it is not something that he or the Chancellor wanted to do, it is necessary as part of our efforts to balance the books and address the £22 billion black hole.

"The Government was elected on a mandate to restore financial stability and fix the foundations of the country - that is vital before you can grow the economy. And so this policy is in line with that, and he welcomes the progress that's made."
