Matthew Offord MP, Chair of the Group, said: «
Illicit trade exists in every constituency, and as parliamentarians we have a duty to investigate what impact this has on consumers, businesses and our public authorities.
He states that: «Internet surveillance in the workplace is not at the employer's discretionary power -LRB-...) Even where there
exist suspicions of cyberslacking, diversion of the employer's IT resources for personal purposes, damage to the employer's IT systems, involvement in
illicit activities or disclosure of the employer's
trade secrets, the employer's right to interfere with the employee's communications is not unrestricted.»
