Abolish the exemptions that MPs have received from the Investigatory Powers Act.

Petition Details

The Investigatory Powers Act 2016 has just been passed by Parliament. It introduces further surveillance powers for UK spies. Most of the stronger powers require a warrant which can be usually issued by a secretary of state. For MPs, however, the Prime Minister must approve the warrant.
