  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  @ MP voted aye against a right to compensation in respect of injuries arising from authorised criminal conduct by undercover officers and covert sources.
  
  @ MP voted no for a right to compensation in respect of injuries arising from authorised criminal conduct by undercover officers and covert sources.
  
  The majority of MPs voted against a right to compensation in respect of injuries arising from authorised criminal conduct by undercover officers and covert sources.
  
  Â 
  MPs were considering the Covert Human Intelligence Sources (Criminal Conduct) Bill.[1][2]
  
  The motion supported by the majority of MPs in this vote was:
  
  :That this House disagrees with Lords amendment 3.
  
  Lords amendment 3[3] stated:
  
  :Page 3, line 16, at end insertâ
  :â( ) Notwithstanding section 27, injury sustained by any person shall not be excluded from the scope of the Schemes provided for by the [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1995/53/contents Criminal Injuries Compensation Act 1985] and the [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/nisi/2002/796/contents Criminal Injuries Compensation (Northern Ireland) Order 2002] by virtue of the fact that the conduct causing such injury was authorised under this section.â
  
  The rejected amendment would have impacted Clause 1 of the Bill[4] which provided for a new section of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 titled ''Covert human intelligence sources: criminal conduct authorisations''. The section provided for authorisation for criminal conduct in the course of, or otherwise in connection with, the conduct of a covert human intelligence source.
  
  Section 27 of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 provides for an exemption from civil liability in respect of authorised conduct.
  
  The rejected amendment sought to give a right to compensation in respect of injuries arising from authorised criminal conduct by undercover officers and covert sources.
