"The white-washing report on GCHQ, MI5 & MI6 by the Intelligence and Security Committee published on 12 March 2015 was preceded by a draft Code of Practice "Equipment Interference to allow the UK intelligence and security agencies to legally access computers to gather and break encryption codes and allow remote access to interfere with any targeted computer anywhere in the world.

The deadline for comments on the Code is 20 March 2015 after which it will be laid before parliament and usually be adopted without debate."
