of the meeting between the Parliamentary Under-Secretary and the Trade Association of Television Retailers, held on 29 October, concerning the BBC's commercial use of the licence database.
§ Mr. Peter LloydI informed the RETRA representatives that I understood that the Director General of Fair Trading considered the BBC's Telecover promotion likely to promote competition; and that the Data Protection 437W Registrar did not believe the BBC's use of licensing data for other purposes contravened the Data Protection Act 1984 provided the data protection principles were observed. I said also that the BBC had said that they would not promote Telecover in using future licensing data.
I invited the RETRA representatives to contribute to the forthcoming debate preceding the expiry of the BBC's charter in 1996, and to discussion of the draft EC directive on data protection.
