Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Bill

Lord Pannick moved amendment 53, in clause 31, page 21, line 35, at end to insert: “( ) This Act expires at the end of the period of 1 year beginning with the day on which it commences. ( ) The Secretary of State may, by order, revive the Act if a draft of such an order is laid before and approved by an affirmative resolution of both Houses of Parliament. ( ) An order under this section expires a year after the day on which it is made. ( ) An order made by the Minister under this section is to be made by statutory instrument.” The House divided:

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: Baroness Coussins (Content), Lord Pannick (Content), Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Not Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Not Content).
