ORG urges MPs to oppose the Investigatory Powers Bill

Executive Director, Jim Killock said:

“MPs of any political party who value democracy must resist the Government’s attempts to rush the Investigatory Powers Bill through Parliament.

“The UK’s senior lawyers, its journalists and the tech industry have lambasted the Bill. Parliament’s own committees have called for significant changes to its powers. But the Government is intent on forcing it into law. MPs must act before it’s too late.”
