I don't agree. I use the register a lot as I have found a direct
relationship between an organisation's registration details (or lack of),
and their understanding of what the DPA means to them. Whilst it's not an
invaluable resource, I do find it a very useful thing. However I would
happily loose it if they would scrap registration, as apart from this use I
find the database has little else to commend it.

I'd be very interested in seeing the "hit-rate" statistics for the on-line
Register. My guess would be that if you compared the IP Addresses of people
accessing the Register with those of the members of this list, you would
find a remarkable similarity! In other words, the only people that ever
refer to the Register are the likes of you and I, when the registration is
due for renewal. If this is truly meant to be a service for the public, how
come the public neither know, nor care about it's existence?

I must admit I rather naively assumed that one of the main purposes of the
notification register was to allow the data subject to look up what we might
be doing with their data, who we might disclose to, who the recipients might
be etc etc.

Or perhaps if they made it self administered. If you can fill out the form
online, why can't you LODGE it online?
I also have no idea what the register is for. It just takes £35 a year from
people and probably costs £100 to fill out by a TICO clerk!

Maybe if the TICO (or whatever it is they're calling themselves this year)
scrapped the Data Protection Register, they could apply their resources to
something more important........ I'm still not sure what the hugely
time-consuming maintenance of this database actually achieves.....?

I think there was never any stealth, per se. At least £35 is a small fee.
Mind you I am about to launch a business that will require to be notified,
and that £35 in a new start-up budget is something I resent.

That makes me unhappy, as the fees can easily become a stealth tax.
