Do we want to include:
Elected Representatives
- Members of Parliament
- Councillors paid for full time roles eg. Some Executive Councillors / Council Leaders in London
- The Mayor of London
Members of the Scottish Parliament Members of the Welsh Assembly Members of the Northern Ireland Assembly
My view is that those who are not in paid full time roles ought not be subject to the act.
Obviously correspondence with constituents is exempt in any case.
- I don't think we should - all the information MPs hold that might be released should be held by the Commons anyway John Cross 12:48, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Others
ACPOS?
SDEA?
More for Consideration
The Association of Police Authorities
The Association of Police Authorities was set up on 1st April 1997 to represent police authorities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, both on the national stage and locally. It influences policy on policing and it supports local police authorities in their important role.
Personally I am aware that they provide guidance on things like how to run a Police Authority during an election
Royal Mail
Even if it were to become a private company, not subject to the Act, it may retain its powers to conduct covert surveillance under RIPA.
(One to watch in case it is privatised)
Spying Contractors
Any companies or individuals performing covert investigations on behalf of organisations able to operate under RIPA
