Lords division · 18 May 2004 · No. 1

Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc.) Bill

It was moved by the Lord Avebury, in Clause 8, page 9, line 19, at end to insert: “( ) In Schedule 3 to the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 (c. 41) (withholding and withdrawal of support) after paragraph 3 insert: “3A (1) Support shall not be withdrawn or withheld from a person under the provisions of this Schedule unless the needs of that person and any dependants has been the subject of an individual evaluation. (2) An evaluation for the purposes of this paragraph shall pay special attention to needs arising because the person is: (a) a minor; (b) a person who claimed asylum while still a minor; (c) disabled; (d) elderly; (e) pregnant; (f) a single parent with a minor child; and (g) a survivor of torture, rape or other serious forms of psychological, physical or sexual violence.””; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 55 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it won.

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: The Earl of Mar and Kellie (Content), Lord Roper (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
