I second the amendment. Amendments Nos. 7, 8 and 11 relate to section 8 of the Interception of Postal Packets and Telecommunications Messages (Regulation) Act 1993. There is an important safeguard in that Act that allows a designated judge of the High Court to investigate authorisations and inspect any official documents relating to an authorisation or its application. The Minister said that he would consider this. It is a safeguard that should be applied to this Bill as it was in the 1993 Act.
