Lord West urges e-mail snooping crackdown

Ministers must do more to stop internet service providers (ISPs) snooping on private e-mails without consent, an ex-cyber security minister has said.
Some ISPs have trialled software that intercepts and scans e-mails to target ads.
They are meant to ask permission first - but former Labour minister Lord West says it is too easy to flout the rules.
