	BY THE LORD COPE OF BERKELEYTHE LORD McNALLY
		Lord Lloyd christened this mechanism an "overlapping warrant" – by which he meant an ordinary (non-certificated) warrant, which names the addresses or premises targeted for interception, and allows the interception of any communications (internal or external) from those addresses.
		Lord Bassam's reply says that overlapping warrants are to continue, because "there will be cases in which a warrant complying with clause 8(1) cannot be put into effect in any other way; for example, when a person in the UK chooses, perhaps in an attempt to avoid interception, to use a foreign ISP".
		However it is important to understand the extent and scope of the ways in which overlapping warrant have been in practice used for trawling-surveillance of internal communications, because the acceptance of 15(3) would create statute-law which broadens the allowable purposes beyond anti-terrorism.

	Lords Hansard text for 19 Jul 2000 (200719-04)
		Although noble Lords accepted that it was never our intention to include content within the definition of communications data, their misgivings struck a chord, and I agreed to reflect further on the wording of our amendment to see whether we could provide a stricter formulation that would assuage the concerns that had been understandably expressed.
		My Lords, I welcome the fact that the noble Lord, Lord Bassam, and his department have taken so constructively the decision of this House when this matter was put to a vote on Report.
		When the noble Lord, Lord Phillips of Sudbury, moved a similar amendment on Report, he wondered whether someone served with a disclosure notice who was not in possession of the relevant protected information at that time could be penalised unjustly under the Part III powers.

	Conventions: Joint Committee: 25 Apr 2006: House of Lords debates (TheyWorkForYou.com)
		The noble and learned Lord the Lord Chancellor advanced recently the crazy argument that the more legitimate this House is made the more it can command the respect of and reflect the views of the people, and the fewer powers it should have.
		My Lords, if the remit of this proposed committee is only to codify existing conventions and not to change them, and if, as the noble Lord, Lord Cope, has indicated, codifying some of them would be nearly impossible, it seems to me that this committee will be a complete waste of time and money.
		My Lords, I suggest to the noble Baroness the Leader of the House that experience might have recommended to her and her colleagues a somewhat different way of approaching what is clearly a sensitive and important matter of constitutional reform.

	Lords torpedo wrecks Straw's jury bill \| Special reports \| Guardian Unlimited
		A government bill was wrecked last night when the Lords voted by 222 to 126 to keep defendants' right to choose trial by jury.
		The Conservative home affairs spokesman, Lord Cope of Berkeley, opening the debate, argued that the partly reformed House of Lords, comprising appointed peers and elected hereditaries, had the authority to vote down the bill.
		Lord Cope, a life peer and former MP, added: "Perhaps in due course there will be a different second chamber in the United Kingdom.

	House of Lords, Report Stage, Regulation of Investigatory Powers Bill, Wednesday 13 Jul 2000
		Lord Lucas: My Lords, when I realise that the noble Lord is about to reply to one of my amendments, I often close my eyes and open my ears to discover whether I can hear the little sigh that he utters when he is of the opinion that what I have suggested is utterly absurd.
		Lord Phillips of Sudbury: My Lords, if the noble Baroness, Lady Thornton, believes that we are under the control of the foundation to which she referred, she gives little credit to the many noble Lords on this side of the House.
		Lord Bassam of Brighton: My Lords, I certainly understand the intention behind the amendments; they seek to tie down yet further the circumstances under which someone who has been in prior possession of a key may yet be prosecuted for failing to comply with a disclosure requirement.

		Lord Avebury pointed out that if they did come from the People’s Republic they might have valid claims to asylum and that the production in those circumstances of false travel documents was not a criminal offence.
		The Conservative Lord Cope agreed in principle with the main objections from Lord Lester and Lord Avebury.
		Lord Bassam, in replying, made two points: first that the exemption simply allowed "existing legislation to continue as Parliament, in our view intended"; secondly that it provided the immigration authorities "with the necessary latitude to conduct their business rationally".

		Tory peer Lord Cope of Berkeley called on ministers to scrap the Criminal Justice (Mode of Trial) Bill, warning that the opposition was prepared to vote against it in the House of Lords.
		But Lord Cope said if the government were to drop the bill: "They would only gain credit for so doing.
		Setting out what he thought was at stake in the bill, Lord Cope said: "English and Welsh people have been taught to expect that if they are in serious difficulty with the law, they will either have automatically or be able to opt for, a trial by jury.

		Lord Cope of Berkeley: My Lords, this problem was also pointed out to me. It is important that we have a response to it and preferably that we put the Bill right.
		Lord Bach: My Lords, the noble Lord, Lord Cope, as so often, is absolutely right; the magic phrase "common law" will be used to answer this particular amendment as it was used, what now seems many hours ago, earlier this evening.
		The noble Lord said: My Lords, perhaps I may, first, apologise to the House for the fact that this is a manuscript amendment that we are slipping in here for a brief discussion.

		Lord Bingham of Cornhill, the Lord Chief Justice, defended the Bill and said he believed that many judges themselves accepted it was the right thing to do now there was a right of appeal built into the legislation.
		Lord Lipsey, a Labour life peer, drew gasps when he suggested that some fl people "may opt for jury trial in the hope that they will get an OJ Simpson".
		It was the first defeat in the Lords since most of the hereditary peers were removed, and the Tory home affairs spokesman Lord Cope of Berkeley, a life peer, hinted that it might not be the last.

		Lord Bassam explained why companies won't have to obtain licences for in-house security staff: "These companies will already have satisfied themselves about their employees, and the Government do not wish to foist onto them an additional layer of checking where it is not necessary," said Bassam.
		In response to the Bill, Lord Cope of Berkeley, Tory home affairs spokesman, expressed concern that companies which are not primarily in the security business but employ one or two security guards might be oblivious to the requirements of the Bill.
		Lord Thomas said the exclusion of these groups could weaken the effect of regulation, as could "the failure to create any mechanism to update the register" of licensed security staff.

		My Lords, the first thing I should say from the Dispatch Box is that everything concerning the Bill is for me and for my noble friends a free vote.
		I shall not pursue the point now, but I hope that the noble and learned Lord who is to reply will confirm that the Government will not use the Parliament Act in relation to this measure.
		It is because of the necessity to examine the facts that we are all grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Burns, to my noble friend Lord Soulsby and to their colleagues for their report on the practical aspects of hunting.

		In a letter to Lord Cope, the Treasury said the Inland Revenue would end the uncertainty surrounding this issue and publish full guidance on the taxation of millennium work at the end of April.
		The rule change should encourage companies to get on with Year 2000 work, but the uncertainty is far from over, according to Robin Guenier, executive director of Taskforce 2000, a lobbying organisation funded by the private sector.

	UN Convention less effective in UK than other states \| Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture
		When the Law Lords ruled that the cases of torture that could be heard against General Pinochet should be limited to those that took place after December 1988, when torture became a crime under UK law, the Medical Foundation ensured there were affidavits from torture survivors who fulfilled that criterion.
		In response in particular to my noble friend the Lord Sheppard, officials are due to review both the instructions and the written reasons for detention early in the new year and I hope that if possible the form will be amended to include any information known which supports a history of torture.
		Similar comments were made in the debates on report in the House of Lords and to Lord Falconer's letter to the Lord Cope of Berkeley on 28 October 1999.

		Southern Lord picked up a few bands that were orphaned by Man's Ruin, including excellent Japanese trio Boris, but Anderson is determined to avoid spreading himself thin.
		Even so, Southern Lord's increasing popularity has as much to do with its establishing trusty-brand-name recognition via its lower-profile catalog of uncompromising, cult-favorite sludge-metal releases.

		Lord McNally said: “We are almost now dealing with a House of Lords Bill, so dramatically is the Bill being rewritten as we proceed.” Lord Strathclyde, opposition peers' leader, had earlier dubbed the Bill a "bungled and shambolic snoopers' charter."
		Lord McNally also commented on what he said was the lack of governmental research and planning: “I hope that in future, outside expertise will be brought in at an early stage, rather than being brought to bear on the Home Office before concessions are made, as in this case.”
