Article summary

The Home Office has announced the appointment of Lord David Anderson KBE KC to undertake an independent review of the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 (IPA 2016), which provides the framework for using investigatory powers for security and intelligence agencies, law enforcement and other public authorities. Anderson will assess the case for current and future legislative change, with a focus on the effectiveness of the bulk personal dataset regime, criteria for obtaining internet connection records, the suitability of certain definitions within the IPA 2016, and the resilience and agility of warranty processes, as well as the oversight regime. Anderson is expected to conclude his review and publish his findings later in 2023.
