HC Deb 11 April 2002 vol 383 c545W
Matthew Taylor

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department if he will place in the Library copies of each version of the guidance distributed to officials to advise them on how to answer subject access requests under the Data Protection Act 1998. [48612]

Mr. Wills

A circular (IT Security News) was issued to staff in November 1999 about the Data Protection Act. I have placed a copy ofIT Security News, Issue 6 in the House Library. No separate guidance has been issued since then. I expect to be able to make an announcement on central guidance on handling subject access requests shortly.
