Do not see why this is needed. You still have to deal with the
substantive issues in the Act if you have personal data (e.g. fairness,
Sched 2 criteria, etc etc)
Dealing with these substantive issues would mean that it is very
unlikely to have a S.55 offence committed.
In any event, post Durant, the disclosure might not even involve
personal data.

Subject: Promotion of Volunteering Bill
May I draw your attention to Julian Brazier's "Promotion of
Volunteering" bill, which can be found at
http://www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk/pa/cm200304/cmbills/01
8/20
04018.htm?
Section 4 of the bill would amend the Data Protection Act 1988, such
that after section 30, there is inserted:
30A Voluntary bodies and organisations
35 (1) Any voluntary organisation, volunteering body, or statutory
body
is entitled to reveal:
(a) contact details relating to, and
(b) the names of officers of any voluntary organisation or
volunteering body, provided that this information is
disclosed
in good faith and other than for commercial gain.
(2) Any voluntary organisation or volunteering body or volunteer
shall
not be guilty of an offence if, in good faith and other than for
commercial gain, it or he discloses any data in circumstances
where
the disclosures of that data was, in the opinion of the
volunteer,
voluntary organisation or volunteering body, necessary for, or
desirable in, the public interest.
(3) In this section, "voluntary organisation" and "volunteering
body"
have the same meanings as in the Promotion of Volunteering Act
2004.
Seems a jolly sensible idea to me. If you agree, perhaps now is the time
to drop a note to your Member of Parliament, asking them to support its
introduction.
