Lords division · 19 Jul 2000 · No. 1

Regulation of Investigatory Powers Bill

It was moved by the Lord Lucas in Clause 49, page 55, to leave out line 6 and insert– ("( ) must describe the protected information to which the notice relates in sufficient detail to enable all those keys which would satisfy the requirements of section 50(3) and (6) to be identified; ( ) must, except where the notice includes a direction pursuant to section 50(3)(c), provide arrangements for the protected information to be delivered to the recipient in the event that– (i) it is not already in his possession, or (ii) it is only likely to come into the possession of any person or service in accordance with some paragraph of subsection (1);"); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 14

Contents: 118 Not Contents: 132

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 14 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 Henley (Content), Lord Phillips of Sudbury (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).
