Proceeding contribution from Earl of Erroll (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 22 July 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Freedom of Information (Parliament and National Assembly for Wales) Order 2008.


Freedom of Information (Parliament and National Assembly for Wales) Order 2008

My Lords, from the security point of view this is an extremely sensible measure. Therefore, I hope that the Government will provide the Information Commissioner with sufficient powers to ensure that these data are protected, wherever they are located. As we well know from past reports of the Information Commissioner, there is, unfortunately, a propensity to try to purchase this information. Therefore, I hope that these data are held in a suitably secure, probably encrypted form, to ensure that there is no inadvertent access to them and they do not accidentally end up on a stick or a laptop somewhere.
