It has been noticable to me that since FOI and the governance links for that with some government departments that the ICO's work regarding DP has increasingly suffered in various ways. This should not really be a surprise when one considers demands normally emanating from governance links measured against the more diffuse DP customer demands. Parliament should of course counter that, but hey, MP's are busy animals and once a structure is in place it should function as intended. Such errors could be viewed as merely an indicator of those issues.

I agree with our contributors, but still find the guidance disconcerting.
