Clegg restates opposition to 'snooper’s charter'

Nick Clegg has warned against “knee-jerk” reactions to the murder of soldier Lee Rigby as he restated his opposition to the so-called “snooper’s charter”.

The UK's Deputy Prime Minister said measures in the Communications Data Bill were “disproportionate” and “unworkable”, despite claims from Cabinet colleagues that the legislation was necessary to ensure public safety.
