Good point, I suppose then, it would depend on exactly what were being held
by the student. If they recorded the lecturer's name against the tape
would this then be different? I suppose, really, I am trying to
understand when the 'research, history & statistics' clause comes in to
play. Also, can staff insist that students disclose data held on them?

Is the content of a lecture personal data or is it like an
examination script?
There may be copyright or other considerations but I would not
have thought it a DPA problem.
