ISC controls the work of MI5, MI6 and State Communication Headquarters (GCHQ).

In a statement on Monday, Lord Bimysh said the inter -party group “conducted an investigation into the role and exploration activities in connection with the loss of data” after consideration of the assessments of the defense related to the case.
