I am getting lots of these messages all of a sudden I
can't believe that members of the list for a long time s
suddenly start looping?

Any ideas.
Thanks
Sally

I am not sure where this suggestion comes from. Also not sure where the
figure of 55million comes from.   Grateful if anyone could quote a source
for this suggestion or the figure.  Such a ban would either require a
change to the 1984 Act, which I can hardly see being introduced, or else an
amendment to the 1998 Act, which is unlikely in the short term.  In any
case, I am not aware of any proposal to ban such use.  What *is* true is
that the DP Registrar has commmissioned me and a colleague to undertake
research on the scale of, and issues raised by, people (not just commercial
organisations) using publicly available lists (of which the electoral
register is just one).
