On Question, amendment agreed to.
Lord McIntosh of Haringey moved Amendment No. 3:
The noble Lord said: My Lords, this amendment was moved by the noble Lord, Lord Goodhart, in Committee. It conforms to the change made by the Select Committee on Delegated Powers and Deregulation from negative to affirmative resolution. I beg to move.
Lord Marlesford: My Lords, I am slightly confused by the amendment which reads:
Lord McIntosh of Haringey: My Lords, under the existing rules of this House and another place a distinction is drawn between a negative resolution, subject to annulment procedures, and an affirmative resolution. At the moment the Bill provides for a negative resolution procedure. This amendment provides for an affirmative resolution procedure.
On Question, amendment agreed to.
Clause 19 [Disclosure of information held by revenue departments]:
Baroness Buscombe moved Amendment No. 5:
The noble Baroness said: My Lords, I beg to move.
On Question, Whether the said amendment (No. 5) shall be agreed to?
X( ) Information may only be disclosed voluntarily under this section if the public authority concerned believes or suspects that the disclosure may be of information which directly or indirectly relates to a risk to national security or to a terrorist.
( ) Any request by a relevant public authority for disclosure of information under this section may only be made if it believes or suspects that that information may relate directly or indirectly to any risk to national security or to a terrorist.
( ) XRelevant public authority" has the same meaning as in Chapter 2 of Part 1 of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (c. 23) save that there is added thereto the Financial Services Authority and the Director of Public Prosecutions.
( ) XTerrorist" has the same meaning as in Part 4 of this Act."
Page 7, line 21, leave out subsection (4) and insert—
X(4) The Treasury shall not make an order under subsection (3) unless a draft of it has been laid before Parliament and approved by a resolution of each House."
Xunless a draft of it has been laid before Parliament and approved by a resolution of each House".
That is fine at the present time, but I understood that the Government intended to put forward proposals for changes to your Lordships' House which would remove the power to reject orders and substitute the power only to delay them. Am I wrong?
Page 9, line 18, at end insert—
X( ) Information may only be disclosed voluntarily under this section if the Commissioners of Inland Revenue or the Commissioners of Customs and Excise believe or suspect that the disclosure may be of information which directly or indirectly relates to a risk to national security or to a terrorist.
( ) Any request by a relevant public authority for disclosure of information under this section may only be made if it believes or suspects that that information may relate directly or indirectly to any risk to national security or to a terrorist.
