Which side won the cold war again? I keep forgetting. Cheers, Doug. ----- Forwarded message from Richard Clayton <richardat_private> ----- From: Richard Clayton <richardat_private> Date: Sat, 8 Jun 2002 11:55:51 +0100 Subject: FIPR Alert: Huge increase in RIP s22 authorities To: <alertsat_private> (FIPR Alert) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ You have received this message from the "FIPR Alert" mailing list run by the Foundation for Information Policy Research http://www.fipr.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The Home Office has laid an Order before Parliament (expected to be debated in the Common on 18 June, Lords TBA) http://www.legislation.hmso.gov.uk/si/si2002/draft/20022322.htm It extends the list of public authorities that can issue RIP s22 notices (ie to access traffic data from telcos and ISPs)... ...to add the following central Government departments 1. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. 2. The Department of Health. 3. The Home Office. 4. The Department of Trade and Industry. 5. The Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions. 6. The Department for Work and Pensions. 7. The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment for Northern Ireland. AND pretty much any local authority 8. Any local authority within the meaning of section 1 of the Local Government Act 1999 9. Any fire authority as defined in the Local Government (Best Value) Performance Indicators Order 2000 10. A council constituted under section 2 of the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 11. A district council within the meaning of the Local Government Act (Northern Ireland) 1972 AND NHS bodies in Scotland and Northern Ireland 12. The Common Services Agency of the Scottish Health Service. 13. The Northern Ireland Central Services Agency for the Health and Social Services. AND some other bodies 14. The Environment Agency. 15. The Financial Services Authority. 16. The Food Standards Agency. 17. The Health and Safety Executive. 18. The Information Commissioner. 19. The Office of Fair Trading. 20. The Postal Services Commission. 21. The Scottish Drug Enforcement Agency. 22. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency. 23. The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority Constabulary. 24. A Universal Service Provider within the meaning of the Postal Services Act 2000 The existing list was just Police (all the forces, MOD police, NCS, NCIS) Secret Intelligence Agencies (MI5, MI6, GCHQ) Customs and Excise Inland Revenue The intent is to get this remarkable extension of scope into force on 1st August and switch on this part of the Act at that time. There's one order yet to come however - on which level of official will be able to authorise a s22 notice. People will recall that a RIP s22 notice will reveal details held by a communications service provider such as... name and address service usage details details of who you have been calling details of who has called you mobile phone location info source and destination of email usage of web sites (but not pages within such sites) My first thought this morning is to wonder quite who they've missed out on giving access to this cornucopia of lifestyle tracking information, rather than who they have added :( - -- richard @ highwayman . com "Nothing seems the same Still you never see the change from day to day And no-one notices the customs slip away" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPsdk version 1.7.1 iQA/AwUBPQHitxfnRQV/feRLEQI9hACbB+tB4f7Wd2Cn6rOjTgxI0pCKXvwAoNBb uOuMoGdslWU+05TBjycO/XaE =Bv9u -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
