Kim Howells MP knows all about surveillance. Back in 1984, he was one of Mrs
Thatcher’s unnamed “enemy within” and played a leading role in
the National Union of Miners organising the Miners’ Strike in South
Wales. Now, he is trusted ex-Minister who chairs the House of Commons
Intelligence and Security Committee which has limited scrutiny role over the
very organisations that tapped his phone and monitored his movements those 25
years ago. A curious turn of events to say the least.......

(Readers who are interested in the kind of protective supervision we have
in the UK are directed to my blog entries on 6th October:
“Can national security agencies disclose communications data or ANPR
images to anybody?”; on 8th September:
“Home Secretary spends 90 minutes per day with interception warrants?”;
and on 10th September: “Is there is no chance of
winning a privacy complaint?”. Also the "Written Evidence:
Human Rights Legislation and Government Policy towards national security - 2006"
