HL Deb 05 June 2000 vol 613 c131WA
The Earl of Northesk

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether, in the context of use of e-mail by employers, any conflicts or anomalies exist between current employment law and practice and the provisions of the Human Rights Act 1998, especially those relating to Article 8 concerning the right to privacy. [HL2533]

Lord Sainsbury of Turville

Employment legislation contains no requirements specifically to employers' use of e-mail. My department collects no information on employers' practice in this area.
