Alas, I don't think we can call it crushing defeat. 1 it's been postponed and may well be back in the autumn 2 one Home Office minister claimed it was only to regularise access that the ISPs already give to government departments on a voluntary basis anyway 3 while writing to MPs certainly helped raise the issue and did ahve a huge impact, it was the Home Secretary's son who seems to have saved the day by explaining the issues to his dad. Call me cynical ;-(
