(2) which sections of the Data Protection Act 1984 preclude release of information relating to individual companies. [17395]

Mr. Oppenheim

[holding answer 26 February 1996]: Regrettably, the information on which my answer of the 24 January was based was incomplete and arose from a misunderstanding which has now been corrected. Further advice indicates that the provisions of the Data Protection Act are not relevant to information about exhibitors supported by the Department at overseas trade fairs. This information is being placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
