Lords division · 27 Nov 2023 · No. 2

Immigration (Age Assessments) Regulations 2023

Baroness Brinton moved, as an amendment to the motion that the Immigration (Age Assessments) Regulations 2023 be agreed to, at end to insert “but that this House regrets that (1) the Regulations are premature as the policy is still under development, (2) it is unclear whether a person can freely consent to the specified tests, (3) there is no defined mechanism for the Secretary of State to monitor and review the policy, and (4) neither an impact assessment, nor costs associated with the Regulations, have been presented to Parliament for scrutiny; and calls on His Majesty’s Government to withdraw the Regulations until the policy has been developed in full and an impact assessment and costings have been provided to Parliament.” 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.

Tellers: Lord Stoneham of Droxford (Content), Baroness Thornhill (Content), The Earl of Courtown (Not Content), Baroness Williams of Trafford (Not Content).
