Although it's nice to see a politician taking an interest, that's the mildest possible letter. The reason I say this is I can't imagine any politician, of any party not agreeing with it. "Of course," they'll say. "Intelligence gathering should not be abused. Next." If a politician actually wanted something to change, I think they'd write a more focussed letter, with actual demands for things to change - eg how long data should be stored, independent inquiries, codified powers, public reporting of statistics on surveillance, etc.
