Powers of entry to private property – Lord Selsdon leads the way

Lord_selsdon Lord Selsdon's Bill limiting powers of entry by bureaucrats to private property is progressing. in the Lords – it is but the latest of his many admirable efforts to restrict the remarkably wide-ranging powers available to many officials up and down the country for a multiplicity of reasons. Big Brother Watch is proud to support him in his work and I am on the steering committee he's setting up to assist with the Bill and the aftermath.

You'll remember our recent research and event on this issue (which the great Lord S attended!).

We'll keep you posted on the progress of the Bill.

    Great job you are doing Lord Selsdon. Keep up the good work.
    Isn’t it a disgrace though that in 2010 we are still having to fight an overbearing state.

    The thing that constantly amazes me is over the last 10 years or so, the only people who seem to be standing up for the common man against the overbearing state is our unelected House of Lords (which of course they want to do away with)

    Scott: Unfortunately democracy is becoming more immediate – instead of doing what is right for us – politicians are more inclined to do what is popular.
    What is popular is sadly defined remorselessly in our tabloid press. Readers are told what to think, how to feel & how to react in these papers. It is a brave Government that tries to ignore it.
    So in conclusion, our state is intrinsically controlled & defined by Mr Murdoch. If the Lords disagree with him – then he will tell us that they must go and we will probably believe him..

    Lord Selsdon is naive and gullible -this will be nothing but a crooks charter allowing dodgy businesses to destroy evidence of their consumer fraud.
    I am afraid that the whole of big brother watch is much the same
