Government told to curb public sector data inflation.
Government told to curb public sector data inflation
Tracey Caldwell
An enquiry into claims that the UK has become a surveillance society has called on the government to strictly limit the data it holds on individuals.
The enquiry added that the government should do more to protect data and warned of 'function creep', where information is used for purposes beyond what was originally intended.
A committee of MPs carried out the the enquiry following concerns about government data handling.
Information Commissioner Richard Thomas welcomed the call for data minimisation and the curbing of unnecessary surveillance.
"The more personal details that are collected, the greater the risk that mistakes will occur," he said. "More and more people now understand the importance of the data protection framework in making sure personal information is collected in ways which are necessary, justified and proportionate."
