The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has taken over responsibility for data protection policy, the Government has announced.  <\/p>\n

In a written statement, Prime Minister David Cameron announced that responsibility for sponsorship of the Information Commissioner’s Office and sponsorship of The National Archives would transfer from the Ministry of Justice to the DCMS, as well as responsibility for data protection policy.<\/p>\n

In addition, responsibility for Government records management policy would transfer from the Ministry of Justice to the Cabinet Office.<\/p>\n

The statement said: “This written ministerial statement confirms that policy responsibility for data protection policy, sponsorship of the Information Commissioner’s Office, and sponsorship of The National Archives will transfer from the Ministry of Justice to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, and that responsibility for government records management policy will transfer from the Ministry of Justice to the Cabinet Office.<\/p>\n

“These changes will be effective from 17 September. The Lord Chancellor’s responsibilities under the Public Records Act 1958 and associated legislation will therefore be transferred as necessary to the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
