Lords division · 31 Oct 2002 · No. 7

Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill

It was moved by the Lord Goodhart, in Clause 92, page 52, line 29, at end to insert: “(2A) If the Secretary of State certifies under subsection (2) that a claim is clearly unfounded, the person who made the claim may, with the permission of the Immigration Appeal Tribunal, appeal to the Tribunal against the certificate. (2B) A party to an appeal to the Tribunal under subsection (2A) may apply to the High Court, or in Scotland to the Court of Session, for a review of the Tribunal’s decision on the ground that the Tribunal made an error of law. (2C) Where an application is made under subsection (2B)— (a) it shall be determined by a single judge by reference only to written submissions, (b) the judge may affirm or reverse the Tribunal’s decision, and (c) the judge’s decision shall be final.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

How the parties voted

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 Addington (Content), Lord Goodhart (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
