The majority of MPs voted against Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee considering the proposed appointments of new heads of MI5, MI6 and GCHQ, including by questioning the prospective appointees and potentially holding hearings in public.
MPs were considering the Justice and Security Bill[1][2]. The amendment rejected in this vote was:
-
Amendment proposed: 74, page 2, line 29, at end insert—
-
‘(4A) The ISC shall consider the proposed appointment of the following, including by questioning the prospective appointee at a meeting of the ISC—
-
(a) the Head of the Security Service;
-
(b) the Head of the Secret Intelligence Service;
-
(c) the Head of the Government Communications Headquarters; and
-
(d) such other persons as the Prime Minister may direct.
-
(4B) The ISC may consider the appropriateness of holding hearings considering each prospective appointee’s proposed appointment in public.’.
Had it not been rejected the amendment would have added the above text to clause 2[3] of the Bill which sets out the main functions of the Intelligence and Security Committee.
