HC Deb 16 January 1981 vol 996 cc628-9W
Mr. Lawrence

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he proposes to introduce any proposals to provide additional protection for the privacy of the individual.

Mr. Raison

As I stated in reply to questions from the hon. and learned Member for Accrington (Mr. Davidson) and the hon. Member for Oldham, West (Mr. Meacher) on 18 December 1980 the Government are considering the subject of data protection with a view to making an early statement. My right hon. Friend has no plans for legislation on other aspects of privacy.
