When is a private secretary not private?
Posted at 1:29pm on Wednesday, March 31st, 2004Speaking cynically, the idea that MPs’ email (regardless of their persuasion) may be being monitored is no great surprise… What is interesting is that recently the Government’s use of intelligence gathering has become a matter of public record and inquiry, something that has previously been politely agreed to be beyond investigation. Clearly apparent mistakes like the suspension of the consul for a leak before the leak has leaked don’t help the cause.
