To use Mr. Woods' example and a financial institution which is involved, perhaps unwittingly, in providing information or providing a service, I would have thought that would be covered by head 4(1)(a) and (b) where it states "while not directly related to a person who is suspected of being or having been involved in the commission of the offence, are nevertheless likely to assist in the prevention, detection, investigation or prosecution of that offence". Does Mr. Woods envisage the issue about the threat to the security of the State being used against people in the political sphere?
