HC Deb 07 February 1996 vol 271 c186W 186W

§ Mr. Congdon
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will announce the outcome of the prior options study of the Office of the Data Protection Registrar. [14391]

§ Mr. Sackville
The study has concluded that there is still a need for the controls provided by the Data Protection Act 1984, and that these should continue to be performed by the Data Protection Registrar as an independent public body. I am placing a copy of the report of the study in the Library.
