Lords division · 24 Oct 2002 · No. 2

Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill

It was moved by the Lord Goodhart, in Clause 54, page 31, line 1, to leave out from “is” to “after” in line 2 and to insert “satisfied that there was undue delay in making the claim”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 54

Contents: 56 Not Contents: 110

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 54 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: Baroness Harris of Richmond (Content), The Earl of Mar and Kellie (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
