Proceeding contribution from James Brokenshire (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on Data Protection and Freedom of Information.


Data Protection and Freedom of Information

The Lord Chancellor is talking about the Information Commissioner's enhanced role, and he referred to the statement he made today. Mention has been made of the new statutory code of practice on data sharing, and I note that the statement envisages some overarching governmental authority for the Secretary of State on that. What rights will the Information Commissioner have under these new plans to enforce that new statutory code? As I am sure the right hon. Gentleman will be aware, this concept of data sharing is a sensitive one.
