The House of Lords Science and Technology Committee has announced that it will carry out a follow-up inquiry to it's infamous Personal Internet Security report.

It seems that most of it's recommendations were rejected by the government last August when it claimed the internet was like the "Wild West". Some of the suggestions which were rejected including calls for increased resources for police to deal with internet-based crime like identity theft and a reversal of the requirement that victims of online card fraud report the crime to their banks rather than the police.

Chair of the Committee, Lord Sutherland said: "The Committee was disappointed with the government's response to its report. We felt they had failed to address some of our key concerns about people's security on the internet."

It has written to those who originally gave evidence to its initial inquiry to ask them for their views on the government's response and plans to publish a short follow-up report early in the summer.
