The Information Commissioner has issued advice on disclosure of information
to elected members - see
http://www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk/cms/DocumentUploads/Advice%20to%20Local%20Authorities%20on%20Disclosures%20of%20Personal%20Data%20to%20Elected%20Members.pdf
Basically it is a need to know basis and always through officers. Members
have rights to information when acting as part fo the Council (e.g.
committee/executive functions) and when acting on behalf of a resident.
regards,
Graham
