Business Enterprise & Regulatory Reform."
And they have forwarded my e-mail. So much for RIPA being the responsibility of the Home Office?
A confused and a bit angry Simon.

I had a written reply from my MP a few days ago saying he had written to John Hutton, the Business Secretary. i.e. the same department, passing on my concerns.
So same message as Home Office from a Labour MP.
I don't know if they are trying to deflect this by dealing with the advertising bit rather than the privacy bit?
This department is responsible for regulatory reform though so I don't know if that has a bearing.
I don't expect to hear anything until after the local elections.
(I did ask him to raise the BT/RIPA issue with the Home Office, so maybe that's what the HO told my MP to do).
