British Standard for Data Protection

In amongst Yokel's junk mail today was a publication extolling the virtues of BS10012:2009 as "the first standard for Data Protection. Specification for a personal information management system".

Yokel wonders whether we need to have a special collection for HMG to enable them to buy a copy. We know that there isn't any dosh left in the Treasury after Gordon and Alistair have been naughty boys and pissed it all up the bankers' wall.

A quick visit to the BSI web site tells us that it will cost non-members a cool £100 (half price for members). So the gift of a copy to HMG shouldn't make too much of a dent in the average citizen's purchase programme for piano wire and hemp rope.
