The killing of a British solider in Woolwich has sparked calls for the government to revive the controversial ‘snoopers’ charter’.
Full-scale legislation to force internet companies to store details of all Britons’ online activity was dropped from the Queen’s Speech last month after opposition from Liberal Democrats.
But the government has now been urged to rethink its approach after a soldier was hacked to death in broad daylight in a suspected terrorist attack.
Former independent reviewer of terror laws Lord Carlisle told BBC’s Newsnight the Woolwich attack should provoke a ‘pause for thought’ on the decision to drop the bill and ‘proportionate lessons’ should be learned.
He cautioned against a ‘rush to judgement’ but said: ‘We must ensure that the police and the security services have for the future the tools they need which will enable them to prevent this kind of attack taking place.
‘I hope that this will give the government pause for thought about their abandonment for example of the communcations data bill and possibly pause for thought about converting control orders into what are now called Tpims, with a diluted set of powers.’
Former Labour home secretary Lord Reid said mobile phone data was crucial in foiling a 2006 plot to blow up airlines using liquid explosives.
