Covert surveillance

This consultation contains proposals to update the covert human intelligence sources code of practice and the covert surveillance code of practice. Both codes of practice have greatly improved control and oversight of the way public authorities use covert investigatory techniques, in order to protect our right to privacy. The changes made to the draft codes, on which we are seeking views, are highlighted throughout the documents attached.

This consultation runs for 6 weeks from 13 February 2014 to 27 March 2014.
