Someone seems to have stolen the RIPA consultation paper.  Looking at
http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/consultations/consult_papers.htm, the
top two links in the table of papers

http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/ripa/part1/consult.pdf

http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/oicd/antiterrorism/vol_retention.pdf

are exactly the same document.

Why does this not fill me with joy as to the Home Office's ability to
look after confidential data?
