16th October 2001
The Internet Services Providers Association (ISPA) has welcomed the opportunity to consult with the Government on the issue of data retention.
Following the Home Secretary’s announcement of proposals for a Code of Practice to be adopted by Communications Service Providers (ISPs), Nicholas Lansman, Secretary-General for ISPA, said; ‘ISPA looks forward to working in co-operation with the Government, law enforcement agencies and the Information Commissioner to develop a Code of Practice that is reasonable and practical in its requirements and effective in its objective.’
ISPA believes a number of complex issues must be addressed during the forthcoming consultation, such as the definition of traffic data, the practical aspects of data handover and compliance with data protection law. ISPA will continue to contribute to these discussions on how the industry can assist law enforcement in combating crime.
