Revenue and Customs: Data Loss

My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lord for the qualification that he edges into on that information—namely, that communicated to the Information Commissioner—which at least identifies that he is concerned about areas of real security that are of concern to Government. We all recognise that in vast, complex organisations bits and pieces between two individuals can go astray. That ought not to occasion a great deal of alarm—but he said ““to the Information Commissioner””. I cannot undertake to deliver that information to him before the House rises tomorrow but, clearly, he wants that information as soon as possible. I will attend to that and seek to see the extent to which we can cover all that information given to the Information Commissioner.
