Lords division · 13 Nov 2003 · No. 1

Regulation of Investigatory Powers (Communications Data) Order 2003

It was moved by the Earl of Northesk, as an amendment to the motion to approve the Order, at end to insert “and this House calls upon Her Majesty’s Government to lay a new draft order wherein, notwithstanding the provisions of the Social Security Fraud Act 2001, the Department for Work and Pensions and the Northern Ireland Social Security Investigators are included in the list of named public authorities on the face of the Order and thereby subject to Part 1, Chapter 2, of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Not Contents have it

Majority 16

Contents: 92 Not Contents: 108

At a glance The Not Contents won by a margin of 16 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 Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
