HC Deb 15 July 1991 vol 195 cc40-1W
Miss Emma Nicholson

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what level of inquiries under the Data Protection Act 1984 the Inland Revenue expects in the next(a) one year, (b) five years and (c) 10 years.

Mr. Maude

The Inland Revenue has to date received very few inquiries under the Data Protection Act, with 20 in the last 12 months. The Department has no reason to expect the level to increase materially in the foreseeable future.
