>>Schedule 7 (Miscellaneous Exemptions) para 1 should apply here:
>>Confidential references given by the data controller
>>1. Personal data are exempt from section 7 if they consist of a reference
>>given in confidence by the data controller for the purposes of-
>>(a) the education, training or employment, or prospective education,
>>training or employment, of the data subject,
>>(b) the appointment, or prospective appointment, of the data
>subject to any
>>office, or
>>(c) the provision, or prospective provision, by the data subject of any
>>service.
>>
>>If, as you have stated, the reference is internal, ie given by one part of
>>the data controller's organisation for the purposes of another part of the
>>organisation, this exemption should apply.
