I am interested at present in what control processes are being employed to
match suspect terrorist names to financial records

Who are the official bodies in the UK responsible for instigating
investigations into terrorism and what is the empowering / enabling
legislation?
Some appointment of officials appears to exist via SI under RIPA 2000 but do
other bodies exist appointed by other legislation or are such investigations
co-ordinated through a single body such as NCIS in England.

I am trying to research the first steps in controls which need to identify
and authenticate the bodies claiming a right to require data matching by
orgnisations. (Given the statutory obligations on controllers to apply
appropriate security on personal data).

There are any number of DPA issues around this subject area but wish to
concentrate initial enquiries on identification of the enabling legislation
in England / Scotland / Wales and NI.

In addition anyone with any knowledge on whether the national assemblies
have the powers to produce individual legislation in this area? (RIPA
appears to have Scottish orders with additional similar SI's for England and
Wales appointing Official investigatory bodies).

All feeback appreciated

Thanks

David Wyatt
