UK security services did not break the law in accessing personal data through the US Prism programme, a committee of MPs has said.
It had been alleged that data-gathering centre GCHQ circumvented the law to gain information on UK citizens.
Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) reviewed the GCHQ reports produced with US intelligence.
The ISC said the evidence showed that any intelligence sought had "conformed with GCHQ's statutory duties".
The committee added: "The legal authority for this is contained in the Intelligence Services Act 1994."
Prism is a programme through which the US Government obtains intelligence material - such as communications - from Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
Details of the highly classified programme run by the US agency the NSA were leaked both here and in the US.
