Same thing happened when I wrote to my MP.

Thankfully after reading through the House of Lords draft of the bill (https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/8206/documents...) it looks like E2E encryption is a major concern of the upper house.

They mention that:

1. This will weaken the UKs ability to have private and secure communication services.

2. Will weaken the UKs tech industry.

3. The technology to provide the frankly bullshit notion of “privacy for the good guys” doesn’t exist and would be difficult to foster.

4. Education, “report don’t share” and tackling child abuse at its root (by not massively defunding the agencies responsible for tackling child abuse) are better solutions then setting up an apparatus of mass surveillance.

Hopefully these points will be brought up in the committee stage of the bill, I’m sure they will.

Edit:

Sorry this isn’t from the House of Lords this was from the joint committee before the bill was introduced to the lords.
