The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what discussions she has had with (a) Apple, (b) Microsoft and (c) Google on the safeguarding of data under the Investigatory Powers Act.
Answered by Dan Jarvis
Home Office Ministers and senior officials regularly meet with key stakeholders, including technology companies, on a range of policies and issues.
It would not be appropriate to comment on the specifics of any discussions about the Investigatory Powers Act with individual companies for reasons of national security and commercial sensitivity.
