New Clause 3 - Establishment of the Inspectorate of Data
Police and Justice Bill

Michael Fabricant (Whip, Whips; Lichfield, Conservative)
I understand what the hon. Lady is saying about fishing trips, but surely there must be some degree of surveillance? There will be times when the security services and the police have surveillance on someone who turns out not to have been doing anything wrong. It is a question of public protection, and while I understand what the hon. Lady is getting at, surely we must allow the police some leeway and not inhibit them so much that they cannot perform their task of protecting the public.
