It's a little unclear what he is saying in the line "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.". There seems to be a word missing between "proposals and" and "that it is".

He may mean "and is satisfied that" or he could mean "and will ensure that" - two very different statements as one implis that it is case closed.

Other than that it is good to get a response like this and to have someone of Darling's stature taking the time to reply. Well done you.
