Lords division · 13 Nov 2003 · No. 2

Regulation of Investigatory Powers (Communications Data) Order 2003

It was moved by the Lord Phillips of Sudbury, 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 requiring the Interception of Communications Commissioner to inform any person who appears to have been adversely affected by any wilful or reckless failure on the part of any person exercising or undertaking any of the powers and duties conferred or imposed on him by the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 in relation to the acquisition or disclosure of communications data, subject to national security safeguards.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Contents: 126 Not Contents: 99

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 27 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

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), Lord Addington (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
