Ultimately though this is a 'code of practice' with no legal standing hence
unenforcable ?
Anyone in the legal field able to comment on that ?

Subject: [data-protection] Monitoring of e-mails in UK offices to be
banned
British employees are set to gain important protection against snooping
by bosses under a new code determining rights to privacy at work.
Blanket monitoring of e-mails and internet usage in the office will be
banned, and hidden cameras can be used without staff consent only in
criminal investigations where the police have been informed, according
to the code.
So says the article

&liv
Obviously? the next instalment in the CoP, can any one point me in the
direction of said CoP?
