Proceeding contribution from Ben Wallace (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 February 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Proposed Directive (Information Systems).

Proposed Directive (Information Systems)

Nowadays, investigators need access to current and historical data in order to achieve a successful prosecution in cybercrime and other internet crimes. In the past, the United Kingdom wanted seven years to be the key measure throughout Europe of the time that IT providers, banks and so on held back-data, so that we could get proper investigations going. Does the directive set a limit and require all EU Governments to place a duty on IT providers to hold data for the same time?
