Have you ever heard of The Interception of Communications Commissioner, whose remit includes:
the adequacy of arrangements made by the Secretary of State for the protection of communications data and encryption keys for intercepted material.

It would seem like it is the convention behind RIPA but I don't think it is. If I remember correctly, Jack Straw started work on RIPA back in 1998/99 and that convention is from the end of 2001. RIPA was passed in 2000.
As regards Interception of Communications Commissioner, looks like another useful person to add to the list of those we write to.
