House of Lords - Written Question
* The Earl of Northesk asked the Government in the light of an
original intention that it should be published by early spring 2001, what
progress is being made in the preparation of the code of conduct on
employers' monitoring of e-mails of their staff by the Information
Commissioner; and when it is now expected that the code will be made
available.[HL1911]
Lord Bassam of Brighton replied that the document in question is a code of
practice on the use of personal data in employer/employee relationships. He
understands from the commissioner that following the reply he gave the noble
Earl on 1 February 2001 (Official Report; WA 78), she wrote to him on 14
February about her plans for publication and related matters and offered a
meeting to provide further information if that would be helpful. Given the
complexity of the issues involved, she was planning at that stage to publish
the code in a number of separate sections, one of which would specifically
address employee monitoring, including the monitoring of e-mails. He
understands that the commissioner has since taken a firm decision to proceed
on this basis and that she hopes to be in a position to complete the process
by the end of the year.
