Data breaches systemic in public sector

Michelle Perry

Recent government lapses in data protection are not unfortunate one-offs, but "symptomatic" of the government's failure to implement proper safeguards, a report has concluded.

The report from the select committee on human rights said the data protection lapses could contravene the Human Rights Act and recommended that the government foster "a culture of respect for personal data within the public sector".

"Human rights are far from being a mainstream consideration in government departments," the report said.

The committee said it had repeatedly expressed concerns A- mostly rejected by the government A- about the adequacy of safeguards on the sharing of personal information in specific bills.
