Use of Ripa

The request was successful.

Dear Birmingham City Council,

I am writing to enquire on the use of the Ripa law by Birmingham City Council.
Specifically:

1) How many times has RIPA powers been used in the last 5 years? On
what dates were the requests made and by whom?

2) For what purposes was RIPA used, what type of investigation was
being undertaken? What was the motivation for using RIPA? What were
the outcomes of the RIPA requests? Please provide full details for the
past 5 years.

3) Over the past 5 years, by each year, how many people have been
prosecuted as a result of evidence gathered through the use of RIPA
sanctioned investigations, and how many of these prosecutions have
led to convictions?

Yours faithfully,

Bhajan Singh

Birmingham City Council
