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 disagree. I am making a legitimate point about which we feel strongly. I am saying that the most intrusive powers in the Bill should be strictly limited to national security. The hon. Gentleman has a different view, but I believe that serious crime and national security should be the strictly limited grounds on which the most intrusive warrants are applied for. I hope that he will approach the issue in a spirit similar to the one in which I have approached it: I hope that he will look into the concern that I have raised in more detail and try to understand why Labour Members feel so strongly about it.
