Intelligence and Security Committee open evidence session

                The Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament is today

        Parliament TV: watch the evidence 
sessionhttp://www.parliamentlive.tv/Main/Player.aspx?meetingId=14146
The Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament (external 
site)http://isc.independent.gov.uk/

Witnesses
Sir Iain Lobban, Director, GCHQ;Mr Andrew Parker, Director General, Security 
Service; and Sir John Sawers, Chief, Secret Intelligence Service. 
This is the first time the three Heads of the intelligence Agencies have 
appeared together in public to talk about their work. 



Session broadcast
The session will be broadcast on Parliament TV
 from 2 - 3.30pm. It will be on a short time delay, as a security 
mechanism to allow the Committee to pause the broadcast if anything is 
mentioned which might endanger national security or the safety of those 
working for the Agencies (a similar process was used during the public 
hearings for the Iraq Inquiry).

Purpose of the session
The session provides an insight into the world of intelligence and 
the work the Agencies do on behalf of the UK. It represents a 
significant step forward in terms of the openness and transparency of 
the Agencies. The Committee will be questioning the witnesses on the 
work of the Agencies, their current priorities, and threats to the UK. 

Among other things, the session will cover the terrorist threat, 
regional instability and weapons proliferation, cyber security and 
espionage. However, since this is a public session, it will not cover 
details of intelligence capabilities or techniques, ongoing operations 
or sub judice matters (the Committee questions the Agencies about these 
details during their closed sessions).
