We understand that a revised draft of the Investigatory Powers Bill will be published in the first week of March – less than three weeks after the Joint Committee reported its findings. We are gravely concerned that the significant flaws within the Bill will not have been addressed.

We hope that it will help Parliamentarians judge whether these issues have been satisfactorily resolved in the revised Bill.
