London : British Prime Minister Gordon Brown granted permission to use tapped telephone conversations as evidence in court, although he accepted recommendations to condition their use.
In his speech at the House of Commons, Brown announced his support of ex public official John Chilot who favored evidence obtained from tapping phones and e-mails.
The Head of Government recognized the need to restrict the use of evidence to certain conditions, such as discretion with intelligence entities’ sophisticated methods to collect the data.
In addition, Conservative Party opposition leader David Cameron praised the measure and pledged immediate implementation.
Sources from the Parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee, cited by the Guardian newspaper, warned that defense attorneys could demand details about the secret service’s operations and methods.
