In light of the Interception of Communications Commissioner's Office (IOCCO) recommendation that police forces should require judicial approval to access journalistic records under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, will the Metropolitan Police be seeking to do this in the coming months, before this becomes law? Please explain how the system will be adapted in light of the recommendation.

Since the publication of the Operation Alice or 'Plebgate' closing report - which showed the Metropolitan Police used RIPA to obtain the phone records of the Sun's political editor and news desk despite laws protecting journalists' sources - you have called for judicial authorisation for RIPA requests for journalists' records. Investigation closing reports are not normally made public. Therefore, does MOPAC ever/have a system for reviewing investigation reports to ensure it is satisfied that the police tactics are appropriate?

I understand the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament submitted an application to use Parliament Square for their 24 January 2015 'Wrap up Trident' protest on 24 October 2014, which had agreement from Westminster City Council, the Metropolitan Police and Transport for London.

Is Jim Boyling - who used the alias Jim Sutton while working undercover, and has self-disclosed his identity, whom the Commissioner confirmed on 27 October 2011 was under investigation by the Department of Professional Standards, and whom Mr Justice Bean in Dil and others v CPM said relying on the policy of NCND (Neither Confirming Nor Denying the identity of undercover officers) in the case of Jim Sutton/Boyling is "simply unsustainable" - still employed by the Metropolitan Police Service?

Thank you for your answer to my questions 2015/0059 and 2015/0060. If the use of containment or 'kettling' is only recorded in the event Command Teams logs and in the Public Order Evidence and Action Books of the officers who are deployed in such a tactic, how do senior officers and MOPAC have oversight that the tactic is being used in a proportionate way and is used only as a last resort?
