Lords division · 9 Oct 2002 · No. 1

Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns, in Clause 14, page 9, line 16, at end to insert: “( ) An accommodation centre shall be established only when the Secretary of State is satisfied that the proposed location is suitable to the needs of the persons to be accommodated therein.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Harris of Richmond (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
