Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 11 July 2016. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Investigatory Powers Bill.
Investigatory Powers Bill
My Lords, I thank the Minister for the response to my request at Second Reading for a view about each of the 10 tests. I am quite happy to accept these. What I resent is the fact that someone can stand up in our free Parliament and equate the present status of this country with the Stasi, where there was no rule of law, no independent judges, no independent commissioners and no free parliament. Let us have a reasonably decent debate about this.
