Investigatory Powers Bill

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

I have had such representations, as the Government have, which is why I said the Bill was about much more than terrorism; it is about giving the police and the security services the tools they need to keep us safe in the 21st century. That is why I am not playing politics with the Bill or adopting a knee-jerk oppositionist approach; I am taking quite a careful and considered approach. That said, the Government have not yet done enough to earn my support.
