Telephone Bugging (Hansard, 12 February 1982)

HC Deb 12 February 1982 vol 17 cc481-2W 481W

§ Mr. Cryer
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will publish his Department's guidelines on telephone bugging; and if he will make a statement.

§ Mr. Whitelaw
The arrangements for the interception of telephone communications are set out in the White Paper "The Interception of Communications in Great Britain' (Cmnd. 7873). The guidelines on the use of surveillance equipment by the police are currently under review; as part of that review I am considering whether they should be published.
