Finally, in our Amendment 68C, we want to incorporate the principle that those entrusted with the use of serious investigatory and enforcement powers under this legislation must be properly trained, qualified and professionally accredited to do so. Fundamentally, this amendment allows us to question who are the people entrusted with exercising these powers. The Cabinet Office’s enforcement unit remains obscure: we do not know what qualifications the people in it hold nor what training, if any, they are required to undergo.
