I believe an e-mail address has to be personal data - it is just like correspondence and what if, as you say, there are people with the same name in a Council - sensitive data (social services stuff) is being sent over e-mail and it goes to the other individual.............what would the data subject say to that? This actually happened here and it was statements to be sent to Court......

Not so much Dr Who... more parallel universe: the same piece of data being
personal in one and not in the other!

Time warp alert! Elizabeth France's views on email addresses? Anything which
identifies you is personal data? Back into the Tardus everyone, return to
2004 while you can!
