Amendment proposed: 267, page 12, line 3, leave out “or organisation”—(Joanna Cherry.)

These amendments would retain the capacity of a single warrant to permit the interception of multiple individuals but would require an identifiable subject matter or premises to be provided. This narrows the current provisions which would effectively permit a limitless number of unidentified individuals to have their communications intercepted.

Question put, That the amendment be made.

The House divided:

Ayes 67, Noes 271.

Question accordingly negatived.

Clause 17
