Most of the City institutions do not appear particularly concerned by the Human Rights issues. Their main concern is over the uncertainty as to who will have what rights of access to their data and communications and the risk of criminal access under guise of a warrant or via the law enforcement agencies themselves.

obtained on grounds falling within those specified in subsection (2) shall not be subsequently used or disclosed for any other purpose.

the collection of any tax or duty or of any imposition of a similar nature.

for the purpose, in circumstances appearing to the Secretary of State to be equivalent to those in which he would issue a warrant by virtue of--

giving effect to the provision of any international mutual assistance agreement.

On Thursday I attended a City event and had my ear bent as to why the debate on the RIP Bill was on the Civil Liberties issues with little/no mention of the threat to the UK position in international business-to-business e-business and the City Institutions and Large Multinationals who--

he claims--

are quietly moving . . . operations out of the UK to avoid being caught by the Bill.

Most of the City institutions do not appear particularly concerned by the Human Rights issues.

of assessing or collecting any tax, duty, levy or other imposition,

in an emergency . . . preventing death or injury or any damage to a person's physical or mental health.

In Committee, I gave an example of a case in which that might apply: a child telephones the emergency services to say that a parent has collapsed, but is unable to give the address. I agree that such cases do not often occur, but they are important. I emphasise that the whole purpose of the Bill is to extend the protection of the European convention on human rights.

personal data shall be obtained only for one or more specified purpose, and shall not be further processed in any manner incompatible with that purpose or those purposes.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.

I beg to move amendment No. 59, in page 31, line 39, leave out subsection (4) and insert--

Order for Third Reading read.

Question agreed to.

Question again proposed, That the Bill be now read the Third time.

I beg to move,

That this House, whilst agreeing with the Government's intention to provide and regulate investigatory powers, declines to give a Third Reading to the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Bill, because it fails to give crimefighters the powers they need, imposes unspecified and potentially costly burdens on Internet service providers without adequate protection against over-regulation and creates an offence repugnant to justice.

President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore have detected the growing political appeal of personal privacy in a time of data rape.

to get on with legislation to stem the tide of snooping.

creates an offence repugnant to justice.

A sound judgment as to whether the burden which he has to discharge is an unreasonable one is unlikely to be possible until the facts are known.

imposes unspecified and potentially costly burdens on Internet service providers

Question put , That the amendment be made:--

The House divided: Ayes 139, Noes 330.
