National Security Bill: motion to disagree with Lords Amendment 122

Government Bill Defence

What this vote was about

This vote concerned Lords amendment 122 to the National Security Bill, which would have required the Government to update the arrangements governing the Intelligence and Security Committee so that Parliament's oversight of the intelligence services covered the new national-security functions the Bill created. The Government moved to disagree, and MPs backed the Government by 254 votes to 136. The result meant the required update to the Committee's oversight remit was not written into the Bill.
