Can I extend this one slightly. If information is obtained under a section
28 or 29 exemption, is its use still restricted to its original purpose,
except for the singular purpose it was obtained for?

Subject: Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act and the Data Protection
Act
The Anti-Terrorism Crime and Security Act 2001 expressly states that all
disclosures by the Inland Revenue and Customs and Excise under that Act must
comply with the Data Protection Act 1998 (s.19(7)) but, as far as I can see,
says nothing about whether other public authorities must do so. Does anyone
know what view the Information Commissioner or public authorities takes of
this? The issue is, I think, whether public authorities must comply with
data protection principles that are not disabled by s.29 of the DPA when
making disclosures for the purpose of criminal investigations - in
particular the second data protection principle. Personally, I don't see how
they could comply with that data protection principle.
(Disclosures for national security purposes are another ball game- s.28 DPA
would then be relevant)
