Serious Crime Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Serious Crime Bill [Lords].
I thank the hon. Gentleman for his generosity in giving way. On his understandable concern about data fishing—not with a ““ph”” but with an ““f””, to stay with the fishing theme and our earlier discussion involving salmon fishing—would that not be covered by schedule 7? It states:"““A data matching exercise may not be used to identify patterns and trends in an individual’s characteristics or behaviour which suggest nothing more than his potential to commit fraud in the future.””"
