Lords division · 7 Jun 2004 · No. 2

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

It was moved by the Lord Kingsland, in Clause 14, page 16, line 39, after “more” to insert “legally qualified”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 53

Contents: 151 Not Contents: 98

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 53 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: Lord Cope of Berkeley (Content), Lord Roper (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
