Information Commissioner John Edwards said data protection laws existed 'to ensure personal information is used properly and fairly'
The Metropolitan Police commissioner said it would be a “rare thing” for the force to comment about the vulnerabilities of a woman in a high-profile missing person case. Speaking earlier today, Sir Mark Rowley declined to tell Nick Ferrari on LBC whether he would have told the public of the mum-of-two's personal struggles because he did not have “all the facts to hand”.
When asked by Mr Ferrari whether the Met would have released such details about a missing Londoner, Sir Mark said: “It would be a rare thing to do. There may be a case where it is necessary to do, that is why I don’t want to be absolute, but it would be a rare thing to do.“We need to release the information that helps find somebody and Lancashire have made that call and time will tell whether they have got it right or wrong.
