Heather Kidd Supports Call For Curbs On Personal Spying
Heather Kidd called for support for Liberal Democrat proposals to tighten controls on surveillance powers for authorities including councils and the police. Heather said that "According to a report by the Interception of Communications Commissioner more than 500,000 requests to access phone and e-mail records were made in 2008. This is an outrageously high figure, but not surprising when you consider it only requires a magistrate to approve a request for surveillance."
