Data Protection application to Keith Hill MP, 2002 In May 2002 I made a subject access application under the Data Protection Act 1998 to Keith Hill, my local MP. I was interested to see who he had spoken to during 1997-1999, when we were communicating by letter. The Information Commissioner's office told me that Mr Hill had been convicted in May 2000 under the DPA, presumably by omission of knowing the relevant law; consequently Mr Hill was more helpful than usual in his response to my application. For the sake of interest, I reproduce the Evening Standard news report here. Coupled to my data protection application, I asked Mr Hill; Additionally I ask the non-data-protection question of whether you spoke to the Police about me, about our communications or my faxes to Parliament, either in April 2000 or at any other time. Please identify any such communications. His response consisted of a computer printout, with covering letter, which are shown here. His letter says he may have spoken to Police about the faxes Parliament had been receiving, but his memory is unclear "at this remove in time". I suspect that his memory would allow him to remember whether or not he complained to Police two years previously; but it would not be to his advantage to remember, would it. The data printout spells out that I asked for Mr Hill's assistance against "BBC news readers who are spying on him through the television." It also contains a reference of Mr Hill's office referring my case to Social Services, to whom I am unknown. "Presents Challenging Issues" sounds a code, like the nursing UNDY = "Unfortunately Not Dead Yet" (but we continue to hope). I wrote again to Mr Hill on 13 May and told him I did not accept his apparent memory lapse regarding the police. I asked him to elucidate; in his response of 17 May he said he was unable to add to his earlier note on this point. 58 -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
