Public Order Bill: motion to disagree with Lords Amendments 6H & 6J

Government Bill Crime / Justice

What this vote was about

This was a late stage in the exchanges between the Commons and Lords over the Public Order Bill. Lords amendments 6H and 6J sought to add safeguards to the police power to stop and search people without suspicion at protests, such as requiring officers to give reasons and record and report their use of the power. The Government moved to disagree, saying existing rules already covered these points and offering changes to police guidance instead, and MPs backed the Government by 270 votes to 200. The result meant the Lords' statutory safeguards were not added to the Bill.
