It has cropped up in the discussions over transfer of data from the Portable
Antiquities Scheme to SMRs/HERs. There are clauses from appropriate
legislation cited as to why the DPA/FoI may not apply, so quite apart from
the general principle I would be interested in any opinion on the
legislative situation.

Dear all,
In the 2nd edition of Informing the Future of the Past there will be a
section on the Data Protection Act and the Freedom of Information
Act/Environmental Information Regulations. To help write this section, it
would be useful to know if anyone has so far encountered DPA/FoI/EIR issues
as part of their HER work?
Has anyone actually had a FoI request or come across a DPA issue in the
course of their work? Has anyone made major changes to their data or how it
is used in preparation for this?
Any info, on or off-list, would be much appreciated..
Thanks,
Paul
