The Investigatory Powers Bill, which is about to become law with virtually no opposition from MPs, gives a huge range of agencies, including the DWP, the right to see an individual’s entire internet browsing history.{jcomments on}
Senior Executive Officers in Fraud and Error Services at the DWP will be able to see a list of every website claimants have visited in the past year, although the details will not include the individual pages that claimants have visited on a particular website.
Other agencies granted access to internet histories include:
- Department for Transport
- Department of Health
- HMRC
- Ministry of Justice
- Ofcom
