LSE Law - Policy Briefing Paper No. 2703806

Abstract:     
The Investigatory Powers Bill must reconcile the increase in invasive surveillance powers with the rule of law. Crucially, Parliament must ensure that it allows the institutions that play a vital part in its functioning, such as judicial commissioners and the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, are given the capacity and autonomy to meet the appropriate standards of transparency and judicial independence.
