Intelligence Services Commissioner/Interception of Communications Commissioner (Annual Report)

I have today laid before both Houses the annual reports for 2006 of the Intelligence Services Commissioner, the right hon. Sir Peter Gibson (HC 253), and the Interception of Communications Commissioner, the right hon. Sir Paul Kennedy (HC 252). Some sensitive information has been excluded from both reports in accordance with Sections 58(7) and 60(5) of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000. I am grateful to the commissioners for their reports and the work that has gone into preparing them.
