Hey Guys

In regards to my post about receiving a letter form my MP, Rt Hon Alistair Darling MP, a few days ago - I emailed him and received another response today, touching on the view from BERR:

"Thank you for you email. Looking at Mr Hutton's letter again, he doesn't say that he has no real concerns about the Phorm system at all. He does say that the Government is committed to ensuring that people's privacy is protected. That's why the Information Commissioner's Office has been looking at these proposals and that it is compliant with the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act. Howver, I shall ask Mr Hutton to deal with the other points in your email and write to you again as soon as I can."

I thought it prudent to post this, as it clearly shows there is concern within BERR, and Mr Darling clearly wished to indicate this as soon as he could.

Again, Mr Darling is very hands on and I trust him to gain the information I requested.
