Lords division · 27 Oct 2003 · No. 1

Extradition Bill

It was moved by the Baroness Anelay of St Johns, as an amendment to amendment 69, in line 15, at end to insert: “(8) For the purposes of subsection (5), the judge should not regard as a retrial or (on appeal) a review amounting to a retrial, any proceedings that do not in particular include provision for— (a) the suspect to be present at the retrial; (b) the suspect to have like rights to hear and examine witnesses as he would have done at the original trial; (c) the suspect to have the same right to publicly funded legal services as any suspect or defendant.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

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), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
