  Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Bill - Second Reading
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  MPs were considering the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Bill[1]. The motion supported by the majority of MPs in this vote was:
  
  :That the Bill be now read a Second time.
  
  
  The Bill had been introduced following a judgement of the European Court of Justice on 8 April 2011[2] which ruled invalid the EU Electronic communications â Directive 2006/24/EC[3] which was brought into effect in UK law via The Data Retention (EC Directive) Regulations 2009[4].
  
  The court judgement concluded that the mass communications data retention provided for via the directive and regulations is not proportionate and is incompatible with Article 7 (Respect for private and family life) and Article 8 (protection of personal data) of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights[5].
