MI5 is said to have collected huge amounts of data about public communications over the last decade.

The revelation came as Home Secretary Theresa May outlined a new bill regulating online surveillance by authorities.

The program collected huge amounts of phone calls records that companies were required to hand over on demand.

MI5 has been secretly collecting UK phone data for over 10 years says Theresa May

It was previously believed that bulk collection of data only referred to individuals based overseas.
