Description
The draft Communications Bill proposes that OFCOM (the Office of Communications) should take over the regulation of all forms of broadcasting and telecommunications, including access to the internet, currently exercised by a number of other bodies. This report considers the human rights implications of the draft Bill, including privacy issues in the regulation of electronic communications such as emails; and the right to freedom of expression by broadcasters. Although in general, the Committee finds that most provisions of the draft are unlikely to impact upon human rights, their report does draw attention to certain aspects which need revision in order to provide adequate safeguards
