Investigatory Powers Bill

Debate between Lord Thomas of Gresford and Lord Grabiner

Wednesday 13th July 2016 Lords Chamber

[Lord Thomas of Gresford]

But not the fact that he was proposing to escape charges of spying by going to another country. Was there something iniquitous about our conversation?

[Lord Grabiner (Non-Afl)]

There probably was because no solicitor was engaged. So privilege was not attracted at all.

[Lord Keen of Elie]

The noble Lord makes a good point, and it may be that the noble Lord, Lord Thomas, wishes to refer himself to the Bar Standards Board. However, I understand that the rules have changed since then.
