provide an avenue for investigating concerns in this area.

As a matter of long-standing practice, we do not routinely comment on the
detailed use of interception and surveillance, or provide a breakdown of the
number of warrants signed in relation to specific circumstances or
nationalities.

Figures for the overall number of interception warrants authorised by the Home

are as follows:<\/p>

Figures for the overall number of interception warrants authorised by the Home Secretary under the Interception of Communications Act 1985 during the period 1989-1992 are shown in the tables below. They provide separate figures for warrants covering telecommunications (which exclude letters), warrants covering letters (letters were relatively more important as a mode of communication than they would be today), and a total for both categories of these warrants.<\/p>
