We shall have to wait a bit longer before going, though. Member for Hallam. I differed from the Minister when I listened to him discuss communications data.
Communications data are worthy of a higher safeguard than that proposed.
It is disappointing that, according to paragraph 154 of the explanatory memorandum, the key safeguard is that content of telecommunications will not be disclosed because it is excluded from the definition of communications data. That is all well and good, but the fact that the content of a communication is not involved is not a full safeguard. That overlooks the fact that, when a communication is made, its contents might often be deduced. When I use a telephone banking service and press particular keys to get a bank statement, I am not ordering a pizza-I am declaring a precise relationship with a financial organisation. The content of the communication could be deduced.
