Parmjit Gill, who won Leicester South for the Lib Dems the other day, was Data Protection Manager for Charnwood Council (he has just resigned to devote his time to being an MP) and, according to my sources, is really expert on data protection. Might be a useful person to contact if anyone wants to do lobbying on data protection issues.
