U.K. data sharing review
A consultation into how personal information is used and shared in the public and private sectors was launched on 12 December 2007.  The consultation will consider whether there should be any changes to the way the Data Protection Act 1998 operates in the UK and the options for implementing any such changes. It will include recommendations on the powers and sanctions available to the regulator and courts in the legislation governing data sharing and data protection. It will also make recommendations how data sharing policy should be developed in a way that ensures proper transparency, scrutiny and accountability.
Members of the public and data privacy professionals are invited to comment on information security, as part of a government review. The consultation runs until 15 February 2008, after which responses will be used as part of the review's final report to the Secretary of State for Justice in the first half of 2008.
