HC Deb 16 October 1990 vol 177 cc798-9W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland 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. Rifkind

I am reminding my officials of the need to consult the registrar about proposed legislation that might affect or be affected by the Data Protection Act 1984.
