Investigatory Powers Bill

Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 March 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Investigatory Powers Bill.

Under this Bill, the current system of three oversight commissioners is to be reduced to one commissioner. Given that there have been miscarriages of justice in the past, not least with the Maguire seven and the Guildford four, can the

Secretary of State convince the House that it is in the interests of freedom and democracy that we reduce the number of commissioners from three to one?
