The majority of MPs voted not to explicitly prohibit Advanced Research and Invention Agency resources from being used in any way that would contravene human rights.

MPs were considering the Advanced Research and Invention Agency Bill[1][2][3]

The proposed new clause rejected in this vote was titled: Human Rights Abuses and stated:
