  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  @ MP voted aye for key elements of data protection law to apply when personal information is held for the purposes of maintaining effective immigration control.
  @ MP voted no for key elements of data protection law not to apply when personal information is held for the purposes of maintaining effective immigration control.
  
  The majority of MPs voted for key elements of data protection law not to apply when personal information is held for the purposes of maintaining effective immigration control.
  
  MPs were considering the Data Protection Bill[1].
  
  The amendment rejected in this vote was:
  
  :Amendment 15, page 141, line 17, leave out paragraph 4.
  
  Had it not been rejected this amendment[2] would have impacted Schedule 2 of the Bill[3]. Paragraph 4 of Schedule 2 was titled: ''Immigration'' and began:
  
  :(1)  The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation GDPR] provisions listed in sub-paragraph (2) do not apply to personal data processed for any of the following purposesâ
  :(a)the maintenance of effective immigration control, or
  :(b)the investigation or detection of activities that would undermine the maintenance of effective immigration control, to  the  extent  that  the application of  those  provisions  would  be  likely  to prejudice any of the matters mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b).
  
  The explanatory notes to the Bill [4], state, in relation to Paragraph 4 of Schedule 2:
  
  :Paragraph 4 restricts the application of the certain GDPR provisions to personal data processed for the purposes of the maintenance of effective immigration control, or the investigation or detection of activities that would undermine the maintenance of effective immigration control, to the extent that the processing would be likely to prejudice those purposes. 
  
  Those elements of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)[5] which the Bill sought to dis-apply in respect of immigration control included:
  
  *Article 13(1) to (3) 
  *Article 14(1) to (4) 
  *Article 15(1) to (3)
  Which relate to the provision of the identity of the data controller and other information to the data subject
  
  *Article 17(1) and (2)
  Which provide for the "right to erasure" ('right to be forgotten')
  
  *Article 18(1)
  Which provides for a restriction of processing a subject's data.
  
  *Article 21(1)
  Which provides for a right for a data subject to object to processing in the public interest, or in the exercise of official authority, or "for the purposes of legitimate interests", preventing a controller processing their data unless they demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims
