REVISED EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

7. The Bill gives effect to several of the PJCIS‘ recommendations including:

So they say what they WON'T store, but where do they say what they WILL store.

Are all application layer protocols monitored ?

Ahh, but its a great time to be alive, ladies and gentlemen .... FZ
