Proceeding contribution from Ruth Kelly (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 December 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Department for Transport Data Storage and Use.


Department for Transport Data Storage and Use

There will be a full data protection audit across both the Department for Transport and its agencies—as there will be across Government, in the light of the Cabinet Secretary's review. As I have already made clear, there is only one circumstance of which I am aware in which data are held in bulk outside the United Kingdom. It is important to have proper safeguards in those instances too. The Driving Standards Agency is bringing forward plans for a full data protection audit of the facility in the United States to make sure that people can be appropriately assured.
