The Law Commission carried out a consultation on the Protection of Official Data in February 2017. This document has caused concern that new policies could criminalise people who are whistle-blowers or speaking out about wrongdoing. The Open Rights Group delivered an anti-Espionage Act petition to the Law Commission with over 20,000 signatures. Did the Metropolitan Police Service respond to this consultation, and if so, did they consult with you or MOPAC before submitting their response? If not, did you respond to this consultation?
