Investigatory Powers Bill

The hon. and learned Gentleman and I debated this point closely in Committee, and I thank him for the way in which he

has approached the matter. With regard to clarity, it is not now beyond any doubt that the test will depend not on the personality of commissioners, but the facts before them? They have a very clear basis on which to make their judgment, looking at the particular degree and seriousness of the case, and balancing the right to privacy with all the qualifications that he, I and others know exist in article 8.
