Written answers

The interception of telecommunications is governed by the provisions of the Interception of Postal Packets and Telecommunications Messages (Regulation) Act 1993.

It is not the practice and it would be contrary to the public interest to disclose details of authorisations to intercept, including either the number of authorisations granted in any period of time or trends over time.
