Investigatory Powers Bill

Proceeding contribution from Steve McCabe (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 November 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Investigatory Powers Bill.

Does my hon. Friend agree that despite these reservations, the almost 300 amendments that the Government were forced to table on Report give us much greater safeguards in the exercise of these powers and a much greater capacity to scrutinise whether they are being used properly, with clear avenues for challenge where people are tempted to misuse them, all of which was absent before these changes?
