Which Billis this? Is this the Communications Data Bill that has been around for a while? I can't see anything in hansard remotely related to this.



Thanks, got it.


It is completely different to the CDB; this is a rewrite of a law that already existed and which was successfully challenged in the ECJ. The rewrite is supposed to fix the issues raised by the ECJ; whether it actually does is unclear, but it is likely to place the law beyond the jurisdiction of the ECJ.
