Lords division · 6 Jul 2004 · No. 2

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

It was moved by the Baroness Park of Monmouth, in Clause 9, page 10, line 33, at end to insert: “( ) The Secretary of State shall, before commencement of this section, publish regulations under paragraph 2(1)(d) of Schedule 3 to the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 (c. 41) (withholding and withdrawal of support) disapplying paragraph 1 of that Schedule in cases of citizens of Zimbabwe to whom that paragraph would otherwise apply by virtue of the provisions of that Schedule other than paragraphs 4, 5 and 7.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 88

Contents: 35 Not Contents: 123

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 88 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 Norton of Louth (Content), Baroness Park of Monmouth (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
