Proceeding contribution from Lord Boyd of Duncansby (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 24 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Serious Crime Bill [HL].


Serious Crime Bill [HL]

My Lords, does the Minister agree that one issue that we have to face is teasing out intercept for intelligence purposes from intercept for criminal purposes, and that one of the strengths of the British system has been the close co-operation between intelligence and criminal investigation agencies? In answer to the noble Lord, Lord Elystan-Morgan, perhaps that marks us out from some of the other countries that he listed. Therefore, in considering this matter and the Privy Council report, will the Government bear in mind the distinction between intelligence gathering and gathering evidence for criminal prosecutions?
