HC Deb 10 June 1993 vol 226 cc303-4W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the President of the Board of Trade to what investigations his Department has been subject by the Data Protection Registrar in relation to a suspected breach of a data protection principle; if he will summarise the nature of each complaint and state when the complaint was made; and what remedial action was taken by his Department to ensure future compliance with the principle subject to the investigation.

Mr. Eggar

[pursuant to his reply, 20 May 1993, c. 288–89]: My further inquiries have revealed that the complaint concerned a subject access request which was not promptly responded to. By the time the Data Protection Registrar brought this to the attention of the office which received the subject access request a response had already been provided. No further action was necessary.
