The UK government says it is "disappointed" after the European Court of Justice said the "indiscriminate" collection of data was against EU law. EU judges said communications data could only be retained if it was used to fight serious crime. Its verdict came after a legal challenge to the UK government's surveillance legislation. The challenge was initially championed by Brexit Secretary David Davis, who was then a backbench Conservative MP.

Probably just co-incidence Davies lost interest when a Ministerial post became available.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that's what it was. Just co-incidence.
