A CROSS-BENCH MP alliance is bringing the fight over surveillance legislation to Europe, it was announced yesterday.

Conservative MP David Davis, Labour’s Tom Watson and others launched their latest court bid against the Tory “snoopers’ charter” at the Court of Appeal in London yesterday.

Lord Justice Patten, Lord Justice Lloyd Jones and Lord Justice Vos said they had come to the conclusion that they should refer two questions to the Court of Justice of the European Union.
