Section 29 (3) is for the benefit of the supplier, not the requestor.

For example

Chris, under Section 29(3) please supply to me your full name, address,
make of car as I think you hit mine in the car park.

You would say, no (I hope) why? Because its none of my Business - in
this instance business is determined by the statutory powers of the
requestor, they must, therefore have powers which is not Section 29(3)
e.g. Police Act, Common law? Proceeds of Crime Act, on the direction of
the Coroner, Children Act 2004 etc etc

Anyone who asks for personal data under Section 29(3) gets "what are you
statutory powers?"

It is for the supplier to consider 29(3) not the requestor.

Regards


Paul

Wow! Chris that is really informative. What about Local authorities and
authorities who farm out the fraud detection roles the third party 
investigative companies. Could you argue that even with the defences of
section 29, an organisation could be in breach by collecting such data,
or processing such data for another purpose like this?

How widespread is it, and should this worry the average man in the 
street, that ACME investigations has their file. Even if they are using
their powers supposedly for fraud. Is there not a real risk that by 
giving personal data to persons who are totally unqualified to conduct 
an investigative function could easily clone such identities. Is it 
therefore not a massive risk to give out data to organisations under 
section 29, so that as Chris says we must only deal with Police.

What then happens to all of these agencies who are set up, presumably 
to save Police time shuffling paper?

Best wishes to all
