Dear All
Last night my niece, Angela, was staying in a hotel in Milton Keynes, one of
a very well-known chain. Her mother (my sister) phoned the hotel reception
desk and asked to be put through to her daughter's room, giving Angela's
full name and her room number. The receptionist told her this would not be
possible "because of the Data Protection Act".
My sister then asked if the receptionist would call Angela internally and
ask if it was ok to put her mother through. The reply was "no" as this was
"against the law".
Can anyone explain to me how???
