Colleagues

Further to the consultation on Part 1 Chapter 2 of RIPA conducted last year, the Home Office has published a new Statutory Instrument which sets out who can access communications data, for what purposes and who can authorise the action.

The Regulation of Investigatory Powers (Communications Data) Order 2010 will come into force on 6^th April 2010.

You can read more about it on my website: http://www.informationlaw.org.uk/page18.htm

I am doing a two day Home Office SPoC Accreditation course on 2nd and 3rd March in London:
