What is PRISM? How does it affect UK citizens, businesses, NGOs, politicians and journalists? And how does it fit into UK and US law?

Come along to Parliament on 27th June at 3PM to hear about PRISM and what it means for the UK.

Hosted by Tom Watson MP, the event is bringing together experts on UK and US surveillance law to help inform the debate on PRISM and surveillance.

Simon McKay will be speaking on the UK laws governing surveillance and how they interact with the PRISM programme.

David Davis MP will also be speaking to give his views on PRISM and its relevance to the UK.
