Our local council is demanding that we disclose names and addresses of students resident in University accommodation for electoral roll purposes, and they're using the Representation of the People Act to beat us with.
I am reluctant to cough up this data, partly because liability attaching to failure to notify local authorities of information for the electoral roll must lie with the individual, and partly because I have serious misgivings about rumoured processing of electoral roll data beyond the stated purpose - ie apparent disclosure to third parties.
Any views/knowledge/experience which people might like to share in this area??
