NEWS The Regulation of Investigatory Powers (aka 'Snooping') Bill was first introduced in the House of Commons on 9 February 2000. The Bill will allow law enforcement authorities to gain access to email messages via your ISP. They'll also be able to apply for access to your private encryption keys but not allow you to tell anyone what they've done - compromising the value of your data and your business' data.
