HC Deb 21 April 1986 vol 96 c14W
Mr. Cohen

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the number of incidents known to his Department that involved alleged abuse of data held on (a) the police national computer and (b) other police computers.

Mr. Giles Shaw

This information is not held centrally. I understand, however, that following its inquiry we are to receive shortly a report by the Police Complaints Authority on the alleged misuse of the police national computer in connection with the BP car registration number competition.
