Labour peers have urged British Deputy Prime Minister and Lib-Dems leader Nick Clegg to stop opposing the Communications Data Bill, dubbed the snooper’s charter by the opponents, in the wake of the Woolwich attack.

Former Labour home secretary Lord Reid and former security minister Lord West urged Clegg to drop his opposition to the legislation after a soldier was beheaded by the knife-wielding attackers in Woolwich, southeast London.

In the Queen's speech earlier this month, she said: "In relation to the problem of matching internet protocol addresses my government will bring forward proposals to enable the protection of the public and the investigation of crime in cyberspace."
