I think he's talking about RIPA, in which case: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2000/23/section/53#commentary-c19929351 Section 5A: up to 5 years for national security cases (which is pretty much anything these days it seems) or 2 years max otherwise. The "tipping-off" stuff is lovely too: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2000/23/section/54 I guess one might end up needing a lawyer to know if revoking one's compromised keys is something that will also get you a 5 year sabbatical.
