Proceeding contribution from Lord West of Spithead (Labour) 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 agree that generally it would be very unusual to do that. I do not think that we would put any of these data on disks. Indeed, with a number of the systems we are looking at, it is not possible take a disk out because that is such a bad way of doing things as they are so easily lost, moved or stolen. I will certainly get back to the noble Lord in writing. I misread something earlier and will get back to the noble Lord in writing regarding the senior information officer, as it is not clear that he will report to Parliament. As I have said, all information under the new power will be shared securely in line with all the recommendations of the Cabinet Office review. I commend the order to the Committee. On Question, Motion agreed to.
