"legitimate interests" condition. The info is disclosable if the
conditions are met etc

Hi Lindsay - I know we have not provided this in the past. Basically we
are not a sdebt tracing agency! and I doubt if it would be a lawful
purpose.

Subject: Request from Northern Gas
We've had a request from Northern Gas Networks for confirmation of
address of a named individual to pursue re gas theft - this is the first
one I've received and from initial discussions, colleagues in other
Council have taken different approaches - some have provided the info
requested and others not.
NGN have explained:
"As part of our responsibilities as a Public Gas Transporter, Northern
Gas Networks Limited (NGN) investigates instances of suspected gas theft
and is entitled to recover from any offenders the value of gas so taken
by them from our network ((Gas Act 1986 (as amended by the Gas Act 1995
and the Utilities Act 2000) Schedule 2B, paragraph 9)). Furthermore,
our Gas Transporter Licence requires us to investigate such matters and
to use reasonable endeavours to recover from those persons who have
breached the Gas Act the value of the gas they have illegally taken from
our network. In order to achieve this, for instances of suspected theft
of gas it is important that we make every effort to ascertain who the
responsible party is and to obtain an accurate address for them so that
we can invoice them the value of gas they have illegally taken from our
network, together with our investigation costs."
Any thoughts?
