{#11 Issue: Lords or Lards?: Only for the Guardian: Phone companies and internet service providers could be forced to retain data and disclose it to the authorities under amendments proposed to the Communications Data Bill by a cross-party alliance of peers. {So democratic!} The proposals have been jointly tabled by Conservative former defence secretary Lord King, Liberal Democrat former independent reviewer of counter-terror laws Lord Carlile, Labour former defence minister Lord West and former Metropolitan police commissioner Lord Blair. Lord Carlile told the Guardian that enhanced powers are needed urgently to retain communications data due to changes in technology, but independent reviewer of terrorism legislation David Anderson warned that the amendments could see the Communications Data Bill revisited (minus safeguards).
