§ Mr. Cohenasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many registrations his Department has made under the Data Protection Act; how many people are involved with implementing the legislation in his 167W 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.
§ Dr. BoysonThe Northern Ireland Office and Northern Ireland Departments submitted a total of 45 part A and 104 part B Registrations. Eight staff have significant involvement in Data Protection as part of their duties.
The cost of conforming with the eight principles could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
