Doug.

The Home Office has laid an Order before Parliament (expected to be
debated in the Common on 18 June, Lords TBA)

http://www.legislation.hmso.gov.uk/si/si2002/draft/20022322.htm

It extends the list of public authorities that can issue RIP s22 notices
(ie to access traffic data from telcos and ISPs)...

...to add the following central Government departments

   1. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
   2. The Department of Health.
   3. The Home Office.
   4. The Department of Trade and Industry.
   5. The Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions.
   6. The Department for Work and Pensions.
   7. The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment for Northern
      Ireland.

AND pretty much any local authority

   8. Any local authority within the meaning of section 1 of the Local
      Government Act 1999
   9. Any fire authority as defined in the Local Government (Best Value)
      Performance Indicators Order 2000
  10. A council constituted under section 2 of the Local Government etc.
      (Scotland) Act 1994
  11. A district council within the meaning of the Local Government Act
      (Northern Ireland) 1972

AND NHS bodies in Scotland and Northern Ireland

  12. The Common Services Agency of the Scottish Health Service.
  13. The Northern Ireland Central Services Agency for the Health and
      Social Services.

AND some other bodies

  14. The Environment Agency.
  15. The Financial Services Authority.
  16. The Food Standards Agency.
  17. The Health and Safety Executive.
  18. The Information Commissioner.
  19. The Office of Fair Trading.
  20. The Postal Services Commission.
  21. The Scottish Drug Enforcement Agency.
  22. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency.
  23. The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority Constabulary.
  24. A Universal Service Provider within the meaning of the Postal
      Services Act 2000

The existing list was just

   Police (all the forces, MOD police, NCS, NCIS)
   Secret Intelligence Agencies (MI5, MI6, GCHQ)
   Customs and Excise
   Inland Revenue

The intent is to get this remarkable extension of scope into force on
1st August and switch on this part of the Act at that time. There's one
order yet to come however - on which level of official will be able to
authorise a s22 notice.

People will recall that a RIP s22 notice will reveal details held by a
communications service provider such as...

   name and address
   service usage details
   details of who you have been calling
   details of who has called you
   mobile phone location info
   source and destination of email
   usage of web sites (but not pages within such sites)

My first thought this morning is to wonder quite who they've missed out
on giving access to this cornucopia of lifestyle tracking information,
rather than who they have added :(

                                And no-one notices the customs slip away"
