Written evidence to be reported to the House
Counter-Terrorism Bill
4:00 pm
David Heath (Somerton and Frome, Liberal Democrat)
Sir Ken and Sue Hemming, I am pleased that you were able to join us today. I want to ask you about the use of intercept evidence. I note, Sir Ken, that you have been a strong proponent of that. We heard from the Metropolitan Police Commissioner this morning that in his view, even if progress were to be made in that area, it is inconceivable that arrangements could be brought into practical effect for a period of some years, and that it is not therefore a relevant consideration for this Committee? Do you agree with that assessment?
