‘world-leading oversight’ by properly resourcing and supporting the Commissioner. This
is important for the quality of oversight, but also to prevent the Commissioner’s office
becoming a bottleneck for important investigative activity.
This will be the last annual report produced by an Interception of Communications
Commissioner. My functions will move under the Investigatory Powers Commissioner later
this year. I would like to reiterate my thanks to you for appointing me to this fascinating
role, and to wish Lord Justice Adrian Fulford every success as the Investigatory Powers
Commissioner.
Yours sincerely,
The Rt Hon. Sir Stanley Burnton
Interception of Communications Commissioner
Interception of Communications Commissioner’s Office (IOCCO)
