Rather than the Data Protection Act, consideration requires to be given to
the legal obligation to provide personal data under the Census Act ( 1928,
amended 2000).

Subject: Census 2001
We've been approached by one of our local area managers for the April
census to provide names of students in halls of residence. As far as I
could tell, this was to help his staff with the practicalities of
collecting data from students, rather than any obligation on the
University.
Do colleagues have any wisdom on this?
Thanks in advance
