Wednesday's debate by the Second Standing Committee on Delegated Legislation regarding the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (Designated Area) Order 2005 is now available online.
The actual list of Members of Parliament who attended the Committee varies slightly from that which was published earlier:
The Committee consisted of the following Members:
- Chairman: Mr Martyn Jones (Lab - Clwyd South)
- Mr Alistair Carmichael (LDem - Orkney & Shetland)
- Harry Cohen (Lab - Leyton & Wanstead)
- Mr. Edward Garnier (Con - Harborough)
- Paul Goggins (Lab - Wythenshawe & Sale East - Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Home Office)
- Mr David Heath (LDem - Somerton & Frome)
- Mr Nick Herbert (Con - Arundel & South Downs - member of the Home Affairs Select Committee)
- Mr. Stewart Jackson (Con - Peterborough)
- Mr David Jones (Con - Clwyd West)
- Chris Mole (Lab - Ipswich)
- Stephen Pound (Lab - Ealing North)
- Mr Mark Prisk (Con - Hertford & Stortford)
- Gwyn Prosser (Lab - Dover - member of the Home Affairs Select Committee)
- Joan Ryan (Lab - Enfield North - Lords Commissioner, HM Treasury i.e. a Government Whip)
- Anne Snelgrove (Lab - South Swindon)
- Dr. Howard Stoate (Lab - Dartford)
- Mr. Robert N. Wareing (Lab - Liverpool, West Derby)
Chris Mole (Lab - Ipswich) and Anne Snelgrove (Lab - South Swindon) appeared to substitute for Anne Cryer (Lab - Keighley - member of the Home Affairs Select Committee) and Dennis Macshane (Lab - Rotherham)
Chris Mole was the person who seemed to be objecting most to any loudspeakers disturbing his Parliament Square facing office, but he did not make out any case for banning them throughout the huge Designated Area.
Our previous report about who exactly voted for and against was wrong:
AYESCohen, Harry
Goggins, Paul
Mole, Chris
Pound, Stephen
Prosser, Gwyn
Ryan, Joan
Snelgrove, Anne
Stoate, Dr. HowardNOES
Carmichael, Mr. Alistair
Garnier, Mr. Edward
Heath, Mr. David
Herbert, Mr. Nick
Jackson, Mr. Stewart
Jones, Mr. David
Prisk, Mr. MarkQuestion accordingly agreed to.
Resolved,
That the Committee has considered the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (Designated Area) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005, No. 1537).
i.e. Harry Cohen (Lab - Leyton & Wanstead) did join the List of Shame and did vote with the the rest of his Labour colleagues for this disproportionate legislation.
Therefore only Mr. Robert N. Wareing (Lab - Liverpool, West Derby) had his concience troubled enough by this repressive legislation to abstain from voting.
