My main concern is that they've miraculously found time to legislate to
remove a small anomaly that affects MPs directly, but not managed to show
any interest in dealing with any of the myriad other small anomalies that
affect the rest of us all the time.

Subject: SI 2002 No 2905 - DP (Processing of Sensitive Personal
Data)(Elected Reps) Order 2002
The SI 2002 No 2905 - DP (Processing of Sensitive Personal Data)(Elected
Reps) Order 2002 can into force on the 17th December 2002 (gosh,
yesterday!).
It allows elected reps, such as MP's, MEP's, MSP's, local councillors to
raise SAR's on behalf of their constituents. That's fine. However, I have
a few problems when writing my Guidelines. They are ...
1. How do we know the person is an elected rep?
- ok headed note-paper. Mind, I've never seen my local MP's etc
headed paper before! What does it look like?
2. How do we know that they are not just fishing?
- they do not need to produce the Subjects authority, or anything
come to think of it!
3. Should we question if the Subject is outwith the elected reps
constituency? How do we check? Should we check?
- not a scooby!
4. The elected reps could delegate one of his/her aides to raise the SAR.
Same questions as above! Starting to panic now :(
5. I'm sure there are loads of other questions!
A few thoughts so far...
1. We will still charge to £10 fee. We may be able to determine the
persons identity from the cheque.
2. Of the smallish number of SAR's we get at the moment, I would be
suprised if we get too many of these - probably 1% is we are lucky.
