Lords division · 13 Nov 2003 · No. 3

Regulation of Investigatory Powers (Communications Data) Order 2003

It was moved by the Baroness Blatch, 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 only when a full report has been given to Parliament on the entitlement (and the conditions attaching thereto) on the part of any foreign government, body or person to require access to communications data in the United Kingdom pursuant to any legislation, agreement, treaty or convention whether national, international or in relation to the European Union and when the Government have taken note of Parliament’s view on that report.”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 22

Contents: 120 Not Contents: 98

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 22 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: Baroness Seccombe (Content), Lord Addington (Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content).
