HC Deb 16 October 1990 vol 177 c775W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether his Department will take positive steps to discuss with the Data Protection Registrar all his Department's legislation that impacts on the use, collection, processing or holding of personal data; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Cope

I am reminding officials in the Northern Ireland Office and Northern Ireland Departments of the need to consult the registrar about proposed legislation which might affect or be affected by the Data Protection Act 1984.
