The UK has one of the world’s strongest legal and regulatory frameworks governing the use of secret intelligence. UK legislation is fully compatible with the right to privacy in Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). Our secret intelligence agencies are subject to the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998 and additional UK statutory controls and safeguards, including the relevant sections of the Intelligence Services Act, the Human Rights Act 1998, and the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, and robust oversight mechanisms including the Intelligence Security Committee and the Interception of Communications Commissioner.
The UK’s Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) undertook an investigation into initial Snowden (PRISM/NSA) allegations. Its report of 17 July concluded that the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) has not circumvented or attempted to circumvent UK law by using the National Security Agency’s (NSA) PRISM programme to access the content of private communications.

The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP), now a Command of the National Crime Agency (NCA), published its threat assessment “Threat Assessment of Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse” on 2 July 2013. The assessment made clear that the use of the hidden internet remains a key threat and that use of it by UK offenders as a method of sharing illegal images of children had most likely increased.
The NCA is committed to disrupting those who seek to sexually abuse children, and create, possess and share these images through any means and through the hidden internet. The Government is committed to this and to take further action, Britain and the US have joined up to target child abuse online through a new UK-US taskforce to work with industry to counter online child sexual exploitation.

The Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) covers the processing of personal data—this includes the use of facial recognition software to process the facial images of individuals.
There has been no specific assessment of the impact of the use of facial recognition software in advertisement display, however the Ministry of Justice works closely with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), who is the independent regulatory body responsible for enforcing the DPA in the UK, to ensure that both private and public sector organisations understand their responsibilities under the DPA.
As part of the ICO’s regulatory responsibilities, the ICO produces guidance for the general public, private and public sector organisations on such matters. This guidance can be found on its’ website at; www.ico.org.uk.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of the effectiveness of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) (Amendment) Regulations 2011.[HL2936]
While no such assessment has been made, since these Regulations came into effect on 26 May 2011, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has used its new monetary penalty powers to issue six substantial monetary penalties totalling £800,000 for breaches of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), in relation to unsolicited marketing calls and texts. One of those penalties was recently overturned on appeal by the First-Tier Tribunal hearing, and the ICO is planning to appeal against this particular decision. Additionally, as a result of their enhanced powers, the ICO has issued more than 250 third party information notices to communications service providers.

The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right. Indeed, the European Union will make proposals, which will obviously cover the United Kingdom. That is essential, because we are dealing with international companies, so we need international agreements to tackle the problems.
The current law is inadequate to protect people’s privacy, partly because there...
