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


A Surveillance Society?

The Minister has said that he will consult on those issues, and that that would be embedded in legislation. Does that mean that the Government are shifting away from on relying on order-making powers? At present, the Government's stance has been that the Home Secretary makes regulations. In other words, a particular outcome is not embedded in legislation. Is the Minister indicating a shift of approach?
