  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  <p>The issue before the House was the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200607/cmbills/039/07039.i-i.html#NewClause">Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill</a>, which was intended to change the <a href="http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/00036--p.htm#sch1">Freedom of Information Act 2000</a> so that it no longer applied to Parliament or any correspondence sent MP to any other part of Government.</p>
  
  <p>In this division, the majority voted to retain the proposed exemption of both the House of Commons and the House of Lords.[1]</p>
