The Tories didn't make much noise about it at all. But neither did a single LibDem go for it, quite the opposite in fact. Full listing is here. In fact the vadt majority of MPs who voted in favour were Labour. Curiously, not one of the Labour MPs who voted in favour actually attended the debate. Ask gmh for the grisly details, he's still spitting blood about the whole thing. Serious props to Evan Harris, Lynne Featherstone and Tom Watson for doing their damndest to stop what is probably an unworkable piece of legislation.
