<p>Britain has a strong and longstanding intelligence relationship with the US. In
both countries, intelligence work takes place within a strong legal framework. Our
intelligence-sharing work with the US is subject to Ministerial and independent oversight
and scrutiny by the Intelligence and Security Committee. As referred to in my answer
to the honourable member on 11 June 2014, Official Report, column 212W, the Interception
Commissioner in his latest annual report addresses the issue of intelligence sharing
between the UK and its partners, including recording that the Regulation of Ivestigatory
Powers Act 2000 strictly limits the lawful dissemination of intercept material to
the minimum that is necessary for the authorised purposes.</p>
