- This book focuses on the capacity of Parliament to scrutinise intelligence and the work of the intelligence agencies. It is significant as it provides a broad consideration of an under-researched area that also poses a variety of methodological challenges. The research therefore involved a range of methods including interviews with more than 100 MPs and Peers, and analysis of all of the reports of the Intelligence and Security Committee and of select committees looking at intelligence-related issues since 1998, parliamentary debates on intelligence since 1984, and Early Day Motions and Parliamentary Questions on intelligence since 1989.
