House of Lords
21 October 2007
This bill would allow intercept evidence and other communications data to be admitted as evidence in certain criminal cases. It creates a clear framework for when and how such material can be used in court, with safeguards to protect privacy and rights. In short, it updates evidential rules to reflect modern technology and the use of communications data in prosecutions where appropriate.
The bill is currently at the Second Reading in the Lords, where its general principles are being debated. If it progresses, it will move on to detailed scrutiny in committee and subsequent stages.
