Part 5: Equipment interference Section 111: Members of Parliament etc.
Subsections (1) to (3) of this section require the Secretary of State to obtain the approval of the Prime Minister (as well as a Judicial Commissioner) before issuing a targeted equipment interference or examination warrant where the purpose is to obtain the communications or private information of a person who is a Member of Parliament, a Member of the European Parliament representing the United Kingdom, or a member of one of the devolved legislatures.
	Subsections (4) to (7) provide an equivalent requirement for warrants issued by law enforcement chiefs under section 106, who must obtain approval from both the Secretary of State and Prime Minister (as well as a Judicial Commissioner) before issuing a targeted equipment interference warrant in these circumstances. Subsection (5) provides that this requirement does not apply if the law enforcement chief believes that the only equipment to which the interference relates is located in Scotland.
