Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 Explanatory Notes

“Relevant enactment” is defined in subsection (5)

160.Subsection (4) explains what “communications data” means. In essence, it includes information relating to the use of a communications service but makes clear that this does not include the contents of the communication itself. The first part of the definition refers to traffic data comprised in or attached to a communication. The same term is used in Section 2(5).
