Parliamentary scrutiny and create privacy risks

As promised in last Friday's blog, an explanation why the data sharing
provisions in Part V of the Digital Economy Bill (the "Bill") should not be
supported. The Bill completes its Commons stages today with hardly any
detailed scrutiny of its data sharing provisions.
In privacy terms, this blog shows that the data sharing proposals
demonstrate:
(a) a lack of understanding of how the Data Protection Act (DPA) works;
(b) a failure to explain how the interference inherent in data sharing
complies with Article 8 of the Human Rights Act (HRA);
(c) a disregard for the views of the Information Commissioner (ICO).
