On 3rd June Baroness Vadera (BERR) wrote to the House Of Lords:
"The Government has brought forward a power to amend by order the
penalty for those found guilty of unlawfully obtaining, procuring or
disclosing personal data to a custodial sentence."
I'm not sure if "brought forward" means 'doing it sooner', or just 'will
introduce'. And is this introducing a new power to amend the DPA, or
just a decision to use an old power to make this much-needed amendment.
(Sorry if I'm over-analysing the words).
Has anyone seen this Order (whatever it is) in draft form or otherwise?
