Part of the debate – in the Scottish Parliament at 2:35 pm on 14 June 2000.
For completeness I will continue, and then give way.
Grounds for authorisation of covert human intelligence sources, set out in section 4(3), and for directed surveillance, set out in section 3(3), are:
"(a) for the purpose of preventing or detecting crime or of preventing disorder;
(b) in the interests of public safety;
(c) for the purpose of protecting public health".
I will say later how we propose to deal with the other purposes that are referred to in paragraph (d).
