<p>Blacklisting is an unacceptable practice. The Government has to date, seen no evidence
of this practice recurring since the introduction of the Blacklists Regulations in
2010. However, we understand the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is currently
investigating some allegations of blacklisting.</p><p> </p><p>We will be paying close
attention to the outcome of these investigations, and once they are known we will
consider whether any further action needs to be taken as a result.</p><p> </p><p>Individuals
who believe they have new evidence of blacklisting should provide this to the ICO
so that it can decide whether there are grounds for an investigation using their powers
under the Data Protection Act.</p><p> </p>
