my bold / UL so is this say that the HO should only give advice regarding interception under warrant? if so does that mean that phorm spoke to the wrong dept and got duff info?

and that DBERR are the ones they should be checking with and so should we? anyone done an FoI request to DBERR?
Conversely if the Home Office remit is providing guidance about lawful interception conducted under warrant for law-enforcement purposes... separate from... business facing legislation...

Why did they spend over 6 months advising BT/Phorm?

I haven't done an FoI to BERR, but I understand the HoL have some questions pending, which may reveal more.

An FoI request to BERR would be a good idea, usual sort of questions;
  • When were BERR first contacted by BT/Phorm to discuss internet advertising?
  • What correspondence has been exchanged concerning internet advertising between BERR and BT/Phorm since 2006?
  • When have BERR met with BT/Phorm to discuss internet advertising, what were the minutes and agenda of those meetings?
  • When were BERR first made aware of the trials of Phorm systems in 2006/2007?
  • What evidence have BERR sought concerning the secret trials in 2006/7?
  • When were Shriti Vadera, Tom McNulty, Jacqui Smith first advised that covert trails of Phorm/121Media systems had been conducted in 2006/7?
  • Have the Insolvency Service Companies Investigation Branch opened an investigation into the secret trials in 2006/7?
  • What evidence have the CIB sought concerning the secret trials in 2006/7?
