ISPA gives evidence to joint committee on communications data
On September 6, ISPA gave oral evidence to the committee scrutinising the draft communications data bill, alongside Jimmy Wales and LINX.
During the session, ISPA argued that due to a lack of information, the broad drafting of the Bill and fact that the main changes to retention capabilities represent an increase in current powers, more safeguards are required.
A stream of the oral evidence can be found here and ISPA's written evidence here.
