Thanks for the comment Chris

But the question you refer to is actually asking readers to give their views by choosing between two statements. The one you have quoted and the other :

"An unreasonable restriction and a drain on resources" 

I take it you would choose the latter? If so, I would agree with you.

Anyone wanting the full briefing note please e mail me off line.

I think this question is very misplaced as Local Authorities are minor RIPA
users compared with others: see
