Lords division · 3 Jul 2025 · No. 1

Terrorism Act 2000 (Proscribed Organisations) (Amendment) Order 2025

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb moved, as an amendment to the motion to approve the Order, at end to insert “but this House regrets that the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation (1) undermines civil liberties, including civil disobedience, (2) constitutes a misuse of anti-terrorism legislation, given that offences such as property damage can be dealt with under other criminal law, (3) suppresses dissent against the United Kingdom’s policy on Israel, and (4) criminalises support for a protest group, thereby creating a chilling effect on freedom of expression.” 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 Bennett of Manor Castle (Content), Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb (Content), Baroness Williams of Trafford (Not Content), Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Not Content).
