Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Frank Roy (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 23 March 2015 on behalf of the Home Office.


Communications Data

Question

What discussions has the Minister had with the Scottish Government in relation to the risk and responsibility for communications data?

Answer

On issues of national security, there are reserved powers. We therefore retain that focus on ensuring that security is assured. Clearly, communications data and other measures play an important part. I am sure that discussions with others, including devolved Administrations, will take place in future, but ultimately this is a matter for the UK Government.
