Rolling back the powers of Big Brother

Caroline Spelman, the Shadow Communities and Local Government Secretary, has called for a ban on state snoopers and clipboard inspectors from entering homes.

There have been over 587 new powers of entry created since Labour took control in May 1997 and a Conservative Government would set out to roll back powers that allow officials access without good reason.

"A Conservative Government will ban state snoopers and clipboard inspectors from entering people's homes on a whim", Spelman added.

"We will stand up for people who simply want privacy in their homes and liberty from Labour’s snooper state."
