A consultation paper on the use and sharing of personal information in the public and private sectors and Consultation response form (pdfs)

Tony Bunyan, Statewatch editor, comments:

"Current data protection laws are utterly worthless. The right to privacy and the protection of personal data will only become meaningful if all public and private bodies have a legal obligation to inform every person on whom they hold data each time data is transferred and to provide an annual statement of how it has been used. This should include: details of data held, every instance of exactly who it has been passed to and when and for what purpose, whether in the UK, the EU or outside."

Our work is only possible with your support.
