In polls and all the rest, a lot of people rank privacy as their number one concern, and I don't think they're reassured. A lot of people will say privacy is dead, but on the other hand, people need reassurance, and included in that is legislative reassurance. I think the act has to be brought up to date so that the public can feel much more confident in these times where surveillance makes privacy much more difficult. They need to know that there is some toughness and so on. If you don't bring in the order-making powers, if you don't bring in the charter, if you don't bring in other legislation, people will not feel that their leverage and their privacy rights are protected. We do need the change.
