HC Deb 18 October 1982 vol 29 c3W
Mr. Murphy

asked the Minister for Trade if he will consider legislation to allow individuals on a mailing list to be able to ascertain where their name was obtained and have it removed if requested.

Dr. Vaughan:

I do not propose legislation on the specific points mentioned by my hon. Friend. The Government's proposals for legislation on data protection are set out in the White Paper presented to Parliament by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department in April 1982—Cmnd. 8539.
