HC Deb 08 December 1993 vol 234 c247W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Attorney-General whether he will place a transcript of the Reginav. Brown appeal in the Library; and whether the case is being sent to further appeal.

The Attorney-General

No transcript of the judgment of the Court of Appeal is yet available.

The Director of Public Prosecutions has invited the Court of Appeal to certify that a point of general public importance arises in relation to the meaning to be attached to the word "use" when applied to personal data within section 5 of the Data Protection Act 1984, and to grant leave to appeal on this point to the House of Lords. It is expected that the matter will be listed in the Court of Appeal before Christmas 1993 in order that the court may consider the application made by the Director of Public Prosecutions.
