Lords division · 14 Jul 2004 · No. 1

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

It was moved by the Lord Goodhart, as an amendment to the motion that this House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment 28A to Lords Amendment 28, to leave out “agree” and insert “disagree”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 10

Contents: 127 Not Contents: 137

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 10 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: The Earl of Mar and Kellie (Content), Lord Roper (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (125)

Not Contents (135)

Tellers (4)
