Member for Truro and St. Austell (Mr. Taylor) of 27 January 2000,Official Report, column 229–30W, what assessment he has made of the extent to which the increase in revenues attributable to the subject access under the Data Protection Act 1998 relates to changes in the practice of enforced subject access; if he will introduce legislation to modify section 75(4) of the Data Protection Act 1998 thereby making enforced subject access an offence as soon as the Criminal Record Certificate and Enhanced Criminal Record Certificate are available; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Straw

It is not possible to say what proportion of subject access requests made to police records are enforced. We have no plans to amend section 75(4) of the Data Protection Act 1998. Criminal Convictions
