Abstract: This paper provides an overview of the Introductory Powers Act 2016, outlining the types of investigatory powers available and the applicable oversight regime for each. It flags some key concerns relating to the various powers. While there are questions about the act’s acceptability from a human rights perspective, this paper concludes that the act is certainly an improvement on the predecessor regime.
