  Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Bill - Amendment to Clause 17 - Disclosure Powers
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  <p>The Aye-voters failed to change <a href="http://www.legislation.hmso.gov.uk/acts/acts2001/10024--d.htm#17"> clause 17</a> of the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200102/cmbills/049/2002049.htm"> Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Bill</a> 
  
  <p>This clause authorises the disclosure of information by public authorities listed in <a href="http://www.legislation.hmso.gov.uk/acts/acts2001/10024-aa.htm#sch4"> schedule 4</a> for "<i>the purposes of any criminal investigation whatever</i>." </p>
  
  <p>The <a href="http://www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=2001-11-26.791.0"> change</a> (which was rejected) would have subsituted the word "terrorism" for "criminal".  Without this change the law allows private information to be shared routinely between all government agencies even when it does not involve terrorism. </p>
  
  
  
  
  --- COMMENTS AND NOTES ---
  
  <p>I beg to move Amendment No. 1, in page 7, line 10, leave out "criminal" and insert "terrorism".</p>
  
  <p><i>Question put,</i> That the amendment be made:&#8212;</p>
  
  <p><i>The House divided:</i> Ayes 213, Noes 330.</p>
