Lords division · 8 Jul 2002 · No. 1

Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill

It was moved by the Viscount Bridgeman, in Schedule 1, page 80, line 25, to leave out “thinks it” and to insert “is satisfied that it is”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the Committee divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 32

Contents: 89 Not Contents: 121

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 32 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
