Paul J's last question stands.  What happens if uk.police turn up at 
Google's London office with something like a RIPA s22 notice ?

I have recent experience of a case where uk.police served a notice (RIPA 
s22 I assume) on UK offices of a very large far-eastern email provider, 
and got the comms data they wanted - which I'm pretty confident was 
physically held abroad.
