Citizens’ Rights (Application Deadline and Temporary Protection) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020

Baroness Hamwee moved, as an amendment to the motion, to leave out from “that” to the end and to insert “this House declines to approve the draft Regulations because the so-called “grace period” of six months from 1 January 2021 for applications to the EU Settlement Scheme does not replicate the provisions which apply during the implementation period.” The House divided:

The party breakdowns are our own analysis of the official voting records (recorded votes only; they do not describe the formal whip). How we work this out.

Peers attend divisions ad hoc, so there is no did-not-vote list. Tellers are counted in the Content and Not Content totals, unlike in the Commons.
