Lords division · 6 Jul 2004 · No. 3

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

It was moved by the Lord Goodhart, in Clause 26, page 26, to leave out lines 6 to 8; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Contents: 41 Not Contents: 95

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 54 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).
