Lords division · 29 Jan 2024 · No. 1

Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill

Then Lord German moved, as an amendment to the motion that the bill be now read a second time, to leave out from “that” to the end and insert “this House declines to give the bill a second reading because it(1) places the United Kingdom at risk of breaching its international law commitments;(2) undermines the rule of law by ousting the jurisdiction of the courts;(3) will lead to substantial costs to the taxpayer;(4) fails to provide safe and legal routes for refugees; and(5) fails to include measures to tackle people smuggling gangs.”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: Baroness Humphreys (Content), Lord Stoneham of Droxford (Content), The Earl of Courtown (Not Content), Baroness Williams of Trafford (Not Content).
