answer text <p>We continue to strengthen our Counter Terrorism powers. The 2015 Counter Terrorism &amp; Security Act provided the police with new powers and created a general duty on public bodies to prevent people being drawn into terrorism. To apprehend terrorist suspects the police and security agencies need to collect intelligence to support arrests and develop evidence to secure prosecutions.</p><p>Therefore the government is taking forward the Investigatory Powers Bill, which will provide them with powers fit for the digital age.</p> more like this
