Investigatory Powers Bill

Proceeding contribution from Simon Hoare (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 November 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Investigatory Powers Bill.

The hon. Lady is new to her position, as is the Minister. I served on the Bill Committee and she is right to point to the work that the hon. and learned Member for Holborn and St Pancras (Keir Starmer) did to build cross-party consensus on what could have been a difficult Bill to land. If the Lords amendments are ultimately rejected by this place and the other place caves in, will the Opposition continue to support the Bill, or will the hon. Lady use that as a crutch on which to base the withdrawal of their support?
