Lords division · 10 Oct 2002 · No. 2

Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill

It was moved by the Lord Kingsland, in Clause 64, page 36, line 31, to leave out paragraph (b) and insert: “(b) the offence is one for which the maximum period of imprisonment is ten years or more”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 6

Contents: 77 Not Contents: 71

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 6 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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), Earl Russell (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
