Interception of Communications (Admissibility of Evidence) Bill [HL]

My Lords, does the noble Lord agree that there is a difference between the views of Sir Swinton Thomas and the noble Lord, Lord Carlile, who are privy to all the issues, and, I am sorry to say, the view of all of us?

Our point is that it might work for criminal cases, but once you start on that slippery path, it will go on to the rest.
