HC Deb 16 December 2002 vol 396 c622W
Mr. Heald

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for the Home Department concerning the protection of new identities of victims of crime. [87160]

Mr. McCartney

While there have been no recent discussions between the two Departments, arrangements do exist for additional protection to be applied to the records, held by the Department for Work and Pensions, of certain individuals at risk when requested by the Home Office.

Requests for additional protection from individuals at particular risk are also considered.
