HC Deb 19 February 1991 vol 186 c76W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he has made an estimate of the total cost of registration of all schools under the Data Protection Act; and whether he has any plans to increase grants in order to cover these costs.

Mr. Fallon

No information is available on the extent to which schools make use of personal data held on computer which would make registration necessary.
