Lords division · 6 Nov 2002 · No. 2

Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill

It was moved by the Lord Bishop of Portsmouth, as an amendment to the motion that the House do not insist on its amendment 20 to which the Commons have disagreed for their Reason 20A, leave out “not”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 32

Contents: 52 Not Contents: 84

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 32 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: Lord Addington (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
