text_body: --- DIVISION TITLE ---
  
  UK-US Extradition Treaty
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  This division was on the motion that the House adjourns immediately, but it followed a debate on the extradition treaty between the United Kingdom and the United States which focussed on the 'Natwest Three' or 'Enron Three' who were then attempting to resist extradition. Those MPs voting to adjourn the House were expressing a protest against the treaty.<p>
  
  The Labour whips officially ordered their MPs to abstain, and so any Labour MP who voted in the division was breaking the whip, contrary to what you may see elsewhere on this page. As the Labour whips did not put up tellers for the Noes, the Conservatives did so in order to make sure a division happened. These two Conservatives were not breaking the whip, contrary to what you may see elsewhere on the page.<p>
  
  It is a mark of shame that the site is unable to cope with the reality of political life and prefers instead a simplistic mathematical calculation of what constitutes a revolt.  (Editors note - It is also a mark of shame that no political party will officially publish its whipping instructions.)
