Home Secretary failed to answer @nick_clegg on why Privacy and Civil Liberties Board is not being set up

HSec's words on MI5's use of s94 Telecoms Act 1984 to collect domestic comms data in bulk were a significant and necessary avowal. 1/2

The new #IPBill must not try to sneak back in the disproportionate provisions we blocked in the 2012 Bill

Investigatory Powers Bill: the Wilson Doctrine is over. MPs' communications can be intercepted, but only with a judge and PM's approval.

Still questions marks over bulk collection of comms data – will be crucial to see detail in full bill #IPBill

.@nick_clegg says correctly that the #ipbill is better than original Comms Data Bill – but highlights that beneath bonnet it may be the same

Encryption clarity. Bill won't ban it, but will require companies to provide data unencrypted. Challenging ! https://t.co/7zgOLbIQi6 #ipbill

New single Investigatory Powers Commissioner to replace fragmented existing oversight. Good if properly independent and resources #ipbill

— Julian Huppert (@julianhuppert) November 4, 2015

Judicial authorisation now …. TM says Home Sec has to approve … but then a judge will have to approve it too. improvement on now #ipbill

— Julian Huppert (@julianhuppert) November 4, 2015

Good if Home Sec really means extraordinarily broad telecoms act 1984 s 94 goes. https://t.co/NQXC9rl9Wy https://t.co/d7l8ssl8K9 #ipbill
