Story: Brown grants data spot-check powers to the ICO
Why retain data?
Perhaps it is not only a question of holding our personal data securely, perhaps we should look at the wider question - "Why is it NECESSARY to continue to hold personal information after the immediate reason for it's accrual has passed?"
Perhaps we should be seeing the ICO and the Cabinet dreaming up amending legislation to require the deletion of personal data within a time frame after it is no longer actively needed.
Perhaps we should see, particularly within Government departments, a justification for every detail they hold.
