Clause 40
Welfare Reform Bill
4:30 pm
Tim Boswell (Daventry, Conservative)
Again, I find myself much in sympathy with the hon. Gentleman. His remarks are of course consistent with what I said earlier. Does he agree that the important principle is that of consent? I believe that one of his amendments to a later clause confirms that he does. The consent of the client should be obtained before information is released to others, particularly if it is of the highly sensitive nature that the hon. Gentleman describes.
