Investigatory Powers (Amendment) Bill [Lords]

A general listener to our proceedings might worry that the new powers could be used for fishing expeditions, rather than the very specific

powers that they replace. Could the Home Secretary give some words of reassurance from the Dispatch Box that the broadening of bulk data collection without specific dates will not be used for fishing expeditions, which might affect the privacy of ordinary citizens who have done nothing wrong?
