Illustration for Intelligence and Security Act 2017

The Chief Commissioner of Intelligence Warrants has some extra jobs. You can think of them as the main person to talk to about intelligence warrants. They get all the applications for a Type 1 intelligence warrant and decide who will look at them. They also get told when a Type 1 intelligence warrant is issued by the authorising Minister, as stated in section 71(3)(a), and they think about whether it should be cancelled. They do a similar thing when they get told about an authorisation given under section 78(2)(a), as stated in section 79(1)(a), and they think about whether it should be cancelled. They get all the applications for an approval under section 145 and decide who will look at them. They can do any other jobs that are given to them by this Act or any other law.
