HC Deb 17 January 1994 vol 235 cc358-9W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will make arrangements for the Data Protection Registrar to inspect relevant contracts with suppliers of IT services that involve the use of personal data held by his Department in order to check whether all appropriate arrangements in relation to the Data Protection Act 1984 have been made, and whether such contracts make provisions for the registrar to make random inspections in order to check the suppliers' compliance with the eighth data protection principle.

Mr. Nelson

The Treasury has no IT service contracts that involve the use of personal data held by the Department.
