  NOTE: The clerks of the house have confirmed their list of names, though it differs from the official count for the Ayes of 299, meaning that there appears to be a majority of 3 rather than just 1.

  Those voting Aye wished to add a phrase to the end of part (1) of [http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmbills/055/06055.1-7.html#jE002 Clause 1] of the [http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmbills/055/06055.i-iii.html] Terrorism Bill].  This was a brief but similar change to what was proposed in the [http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/division.php?date=2005-11-02&number=73] last division]
  
  Clause 1(1) of the Bill says:
  
  :A person commits an offence if (a) he publishes a statement or causes another to publish a statement on his behalf; and (b) ... he knows or... has reasonable grounds for believing that members of the public... are likely to understand it as a[n]... encouragement... of acts of terrorism...
  
  And the question which was the subject of this vote was to append the phrase:
  :and intends that his statement shall have that effect
  
  which would have meant you couldn't break this law unintentionally.
