FIPR Press Release - Home Office in two minds on snooping

FOR IMMEDIATE USE : 11 March 2003

[..]

Ian Brown commented: "The data retention consultation is a sham. The Home 
Office have failed to address any of the well-known substantive issues and 
are merely going through the motions so that they can come back with a 
compulsory scheme. Their problem is that the compulsory scheme will also be 
unlawful, will also be incredibly expensive and, on their own evidence, 
will fail to help with their problems. The Home Office needs to drop data 
retention and start again, perhaps with a targeted preservation scheme such 
as seems to be successful in the USA."
