How, in a democratic state, can the competing interests of the need
for national security and the demand for open government be
reconciled? Should Security Services have a legal obligation to
report their activities and should their members be held liable for
exceeding the powers bestowed upon them by Parliament? These
questions have taxed governments and academic commentators for
generations until now. The early 1990s have witnessed an
unprecedented change in public opinion and governmental attitude
away from the extreme levels of secrecy and mystery which have
traditionally enshrouded the Security Services. In this searching
analysis, two leading constitutional lawyers shed light on the
legal powers and basis of this murky area of government, comparing
the accountability of Britain's Security Services with the very
different situations in Canada and Australia. The authors question
whether we still need, or should tolerate, the level of secrecy
together with all the possibilities for misuse and abuse of power
which accompany it in this authoritative study of the
constitutional and legal position of the Security Services in
Britain.
