An interesting one. What about Schedule 2 5d of the Act "The processing is
necessary for the exercise of any other functions of a public nature
exercised in the public interest by any person."
I only mention this as a possibility as this works for me on two levels.
Firstly, as a business owner, I would have no objection to this information
being processed in order to inform me of the new regulations (although there
are plenty of other sources for this information).
Secondly, as a member of the public, I would expect places of work to comply
with these regulations, for mine and other benefits (public interest).
Anyone want to chip in?
Simon.

Subject: [data-protection] Use of Business Rates Information
Can anyone help with this Monday morning question? Our Environmental
Health Dept wants Revenues to supply them with a list of local businesses
that pay commercial rates so that Env Health can send them information
about the smoking regulations coming into force next year.
My initial thought is no because the information will be used for a
different purpose to that which it was originally gathered. Also, although
the information requested is business addresses, some of those businesses
could be sole traders and therefore personal data. I am therefore
reluctant to agree to this disclosure.
Can someone confirm my thoughts are correct or offer a basis on which to
disclose?
Thanks.
Julie
