Data Protection Registrar to David Irving

• Board of Deputies of British Jews Intelligence Report on David Irving
• David Irving complaint to Metropolitan Police about Board of Deputies of British Jews

Mr David Irving 81 Duke Street LONDON W1M 5DJ Our ref: PJ/LMD/M6002/04921 and M6002/04908 5 March 1997 Dear Mr Irving Thank you for your letter of 9 February 1997. I note that you remain unconvinced that the Board of Deputies do not hold "intelligence" data on computer. However, I can only repeat that the Registrar's Investigator could find no evidence that the Board holds personal data of which you are the subject on computer. Yours sincerely PHILIP JONES Assistant Registrar

EVERY subject now has the statutory right under the Data Protection Act, 1984, to give the Board of Deputies forty days' notice in writing to provide copies of all data maintained by the Board on them, and to require the Board to make such corrections as the subject concerned may require.

Subjects who suspect that they are being victimised should write in the first instance by Recorded Mail to the Research Unit, Board of Deputies of British Jews, marking their letter for the attention of Michael Whine, Director, Research Unit, Commonwealth House, 1 - 19 New Oxford Street, London WC1A 1NF. If the Board refuses to give satisfaction within forty days, the subject should then complain in writing to the Registrar of the Data Protection Agency, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF; the agency has statutory powers to search and seize databases in the event of non compliance with the Act.
