- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to the answer to the hon. Member for Brentwood and Ongar of 30 October 2008, Official Report, column 1251W, on electronic surveillance: databases, whether local authorities will have access to communications data retained by internet service providers.
- Answer
-
Local authority access to communications data retained by internet service providers will be on the same basis as their access to communications data retained by any other communications service provider. That is they will continue under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 to have access to service use and subscriber data, but not traffic data, the class of communications data that would indicate specific areas of internet interest or activity.
