Changes in NZ spy laws on the cards
Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee will meet next Tuesday to decide when the review will be released.
The review - announced last year - looked at the adequacy of the law governing the Security Intelligence Service, and how the Government Communications Security Agency legislation is working.
It was carried out by the former Labour deputy prime minister Sir Michael Cullen and the lawyer Dame Patricia Reddy.
John Key said some changes were now likely, based on the review's recommendations.
"There's a general perspective that the SIS legislation at the moment is not fit for purpose. I think there are areas where they can see improvement in the way the GCSB and the SIS can work together."
