The first draft Statutory Instruments that will form the
DPA 1998 subordinate legislation have just been published
on the Home Office CCPD Web site. They are:
The Data Protection (Subject Access Modification) (Education) Order 1999
The Data Protection (Subject Access Modification) (Social Work) Order 1999
The Data Protection (Miscellaneous Subject Access Exemptions) Order 1999
The Data Protection (Crown Appointments) Order 1999
The Data Protection (Functions of Designated Authority) Order 1999
The Data Protection (Fees under section 19(7)) Regulations 1999
The Crown Appointments one is relevant only to Trinity College and
Churchill College, Cambridge University (as far as HE institutions are
concerned), as their Masters are appointed by the Queen. The "Fees
under Sec 19(7)" one tells us that it will cost 2 pounds to obtain
"a duly certified copy of any data controllers entry on the register".
The others are pretty irrelevant too!!
The web page to keep an eye on for these and hopefully soon the more
interesting and relevant draft SI's is
