Surveillance: Local Authorities
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what requirements there are on local authorities to compile a central register of surveillance activity.
- Answer
-
Where local authorities conduct directed surveillance within the meaning of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 they are required to maintain a record of the authorisation. This will be made available for inspection as appropriate by the Office of Surveillance Commissioners, but there is no central register of local authorities' surveillance activity.
