HC Deb 17 November 1998 vol 319 cc573-4W
Dr. Marek

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what facilities exist on St. Helena for citizens to be able to have access to files relating to them. [59433]

Mr. Tony Lloyd

[holding answer 12 November 1998]St. Helenians have no right of access to files relating to them such as criminal records, benefit payments and passport applications. Public Servants are subject to open appraisal but do not have right of access to their files.

If my hon. Friend has any specific concerns, I would invite him to raise this issue with this office directly.
