Lords division · 22 Oct 2018 · No. 3

Crime (Overseas Production Orders) Bill [HL]

Lord Rosser moved amendment 6, in clause 3, page 4, line 21, at end to insert: “(8A) “Journalistic data” means electronic data that: (a) was created or acquired for the purposes of journalism, and (b) is stored by or on behalf of a person who created or acquired it for the purposes of journalism. (8B) Where a person (“R”) receives electronic data from another person (“S”) and S intends R to use the data for the purposes of journalism, R is to be taken to have acquired the data for those purposes. (8C) Journalistic data is “confidential journalistic data” if: (a) it is acquired or created by a person or persons in their capacity as a journalist and is held in confidence, or (b) it is communications data of a person acting in their capacity as a journalist, or (c) it is held subject to a restriction on disclosure, or an obligation of secrecy, contained in any enactment (whenever passed or made).” 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: Lord McAvoy (Content), Lord Tunnicliffe (Content), The Earl of Courtown (Not Content), Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Not Content).
