On the topic of ICRs in the Investigatory Powers Bill, I liked this from the House of Lords debate:<p>> It is not for me to explain why the Government want in the Bill a power that currently does not exist, because internet connection records do not exist, and which the security services say they do not want but which the noble and learned Lord says might be needed in the future. It is not for me to justify this power; I am saying to the House why I do not believe it is justified. The noble and learned Lord and the noble Lord, Lord Rosser, made the point that this is an existing power, but how can you have an existing power to acquire something that will not exist until the Bill is enacted?<p><a href="https://hansard.parliament.uk/Lords/2016-10-19/debates/E48829E1-69FB-444C-A27B-0B914F56CFFA/InvestigatoryPowersBill#contribution-BAB917A2-87C3-453C-A23B-FB83D3C3EF06" rel="nofollow">https://hansard.parliament.uk/Lords/2016-10-19/debates/E4882...</a>
