Decision details

The Committee considered a report from the Monitoring Officer that sought approval to adopt the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act Policy (RIPA Policy).

The Committee asked for the number of cases in the past 4 years that have fallen under this Act. The Group Head Corporate Governance advised that these figures would be presented to the Audit Committee.

The Committee resolved to adopt the RIPA Policy and delegate to the Group Head of Corporate Governance to keep the Policy under regular review and update the Audit Committee on any updates to the Policy and use of the power thereunder.
