§ Mr. Cohenasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what records will be kept by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise when personal data, supplied to them via the non-disclosure provisions of section 28 of the Data Protection Act, are passed on to other Government Departments; and what written statement will be sent to the data user by Customs and Excise to show that the disclosure of personal data was by that route.
§ Mr. BrookeWhen personal data, including those supplied under section 28 of the Data Protection Act, are passed to other Government Departments, Customs and Excise retains local files showing the data which have been provided. Where the need to disclose such data under section 28(3) arises, the covering letter will declare that that is so.
