HC Deb 09 June 1986 vol 99 c17W
Mr. Cohen

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many registrations his Department has made under the Data Protection Act; how many people are involved with implementing the legislation in his Department as a significant part of their job description; and how much he estimates it will cost to conform with the eight data protection principles.

Mr. Ridley

My Deprtment has made 13 registrations. One person has implementation as a significant part of his job description. I cannot yet estimate the cost of conforming with the eight principles.
