The Communications Capabilities Development Programme (CCDP) is a UK government initiative to create a ubiquitous surveillance scheme for the United Kingdom.[1] It involves the logging of every telephone call, email and text message between every inhabitant of the UK.[2]

It derives from the former Labour government's Interception Modernisation Programme,[2] which after apparently being cancelled, was revived by the coalition government [3] in their 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review.[4]
