Proceeding contribution from Baroness Laing of Elderslie (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on A Surveillance Society?.


A Surveillance Society?

On the right hon. Gentleman's penultimate point about the attitude of law-abiding citizens, does he agree that citizens who are going about their business and not breaking the law in any way might nevertheless fear for their privacy, because they do not intend their whereabouts at any particular point to be a matter for public record? In saying that, I do not disagree with him. CCTV cameras serve an important purpose, but citizens' concerns about their privacy may relate to more than just whether they are being law-abiding.
