Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 16 July 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Immigration (Supply of Information to the Secretary of State for Immigration Purposes) Order 2008.


Immigration (Supply of Information to the Secretary of State for Immigration Purposes) Order 2008

I cannot imagine any case in which it would be impossible to send the data over the internet on an encrypted link as opposed to passing them physically via a laptop, CD or some other hard medium. I am not asking for a reply now but I should be grateful if the noble Lord could drop me a line. The exceptions to that rule should be minimised and, if possible, there should be a rule that no data are passed in hard form if that can be avoided.
