The Intelligence and Security Committee

The Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) is a group of senior Parliament members in the UK who oversee the work of the country's intelligence agencies, like MI5, MI6, and GCHQ. Their role is to scrutinize how these agencies gather information, handle threats, and protect national security, ensuring transparency and accountability. They review operations, ask questions, and produce reports for Parliament, helping to prevent misuse of power while safeguarding the country. Essentially, they serve as an oversight body, balancing national security needs with the principles of democracy and accountability.
