Lords division · 31 Oct 2002 · No. 3

Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill

It was moved by the Earl Russell, in Clause 28, page 15, line 29, at end to insert “and must provide a resident of an accommodation centre with access to legal advice from suitably qualified advisers”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 43

Contents: 146 Not Contents: 103

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 43 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: Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
