Draft revised Interception of communications code of practice 2022
Outlines changes in the draft revised code around the interception procedures public authorities and postal and telecommunications operators should follow.
The Interception of Communications code of practice has been revised to reflect the government’s position on cloud-service providers and enterprise services following a public consultation that ended in September 2022.
The proposed changes to the Interception code of practice provide clarity around the circumstances in which an intercepting authority should serve a warrant on either the cloud-service provider or the enterprise service.
This draft revised code was laid before Parliament on 19 October 2022 and will come into force once it has been debated and approved by both Houses of Parliament.
