Lords division · 6 Jul 2004 · No. 1

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

It was moved by the Lord Phillips of Sudbury, after Clause 8, to insert the new Clause (Legal aid for asylum interviews); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 66

Contents: 66 Not Contents: 132

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 66 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 Roper (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
