Vote: Bills β Government Communications Security Bureau Bill
β Third Reading
π³οΈ That the Government Communications Security Bureau Bill be now read a third time
Mr SPEAKER: Leave is sought accordingly. Is there any objection? There is not. I return then to the vote on the Government Communications Security Bureau Bill. Read more β
Third Reading β this is the last vote a bill needs to
pass before it's sent off to become law. Earlier votes (first reading, second reading, and
any votes on amendments along the way) decide what the bill looks like and whether it
keeps moving forward, but this is the one that actually decides whether it happens at all.
β Passed by a large majority
(108 Ayes β 9 Noes β 3 Absent)
Hansard didn't name individual MPs for this vote, only how each party voted overall, so
there's no per-member breakdown to show here.
