§ 1. Mr. Gardnerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to protect the right to personal privacy as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
§ The Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Elystan Morgan)My right hon. Friend is keeping this important question under review, but is not satisfied that legislation is called for at present.
§ Mr. GardnerIs my hon. Friend aware of the great concern which is felt about the use of a private agency by a London borough to expel squatters from premises? Is he also aware that many reputable people in business as private detectives would welcome some control?
§ Mr. MorganI think that my hon. Friend is perhaps referring to Question No. 3. I am aware that he succeeded on 30th April in obtaining a First Reading for his Bill, but the matters raised there were mainly for my noble Friend the Lord Chancellor.
