The remit of the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) of Parliament is set out within the Justice and Security Act 2013, and the accompanying Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which is published and available at:

http://isc.independent.gov.uk/

Except for the circumstances specified in Paragraphs 11-17 of the MOU, operational intelligence activity falls outside the scope of the ISC.
