Lords division · 10 Oct 2002 · No. 1

Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill

It was moved by the Lord Bishop of Portsmouth, in Clause 55, page 30, line 30, after “person” to insert “over the age of eighteen”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 45

Contents: 64 Not Contents: 109

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 45 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: The Lord Bishop of Southwark (Content), Lord Avebury (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
