The Big Brother state won’t happen on the Liberal Democrat watch.

The petition:

The Liberal Democrats will only back new security measures if they deliver more privacy not less.

We the undersigned call on the government to guarantee that:

- no-one in the police, security services or elsewhere in government will be allowed to read the content of internet communications, phone calls or texts without a warrant signed by the Home Secretary

- no-one in the police, security services or elsewhere in government will be allowed to access any communications records in real time without a warrant signed by a magistrate

- there will be substantially stronger safeguards for civil liberties than currently exist before anyone in the police, security services or elsewhere in government can access any communications records at all.

    If you are a resident of the Carshalton and Wallington constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
