question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what obligations (a) people with reporting obligations in the regulated sector and (b) others have to ensure that a data controller who has processed personal data when not entitled to do so because of lack of notification does not benefit from any proceeds that may have been received as a consequence of that processing; and what sanctions can be taken against people who fail to fulfil those obligations.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2015 answer text <p>The Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) requires every data controller who is processing personal information to register with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) unless they are exempt. Failure to do so is a criminal offence.</p><p> </p><p>The ICO has the ability to prosecute data controllers who process personal data having failed to notify in accordance with the DPA. A successful prosecution could result in a fine being imposed. The length of time that a data controller has failed to notify, and any financial benefit they have received from not paying the notification fees, is a factor that is taken into account by the Court when sentencing and setting the appropriate level of fine. There are no provisions in the Proceeds of Crime Act that would require someone to report to a court or anyone else that any profit has been made from the offence of processing personal data without being registered. If someone suspects that money laundering has occurred then the reporting obligations set out in the Money Laundering Regulations 2007 will, for example, apply.</p><p> </p><p>It is for data controllers to seek registration; the ICO periodically reminds organisations of the requirement to notify. Fee income has been increasing year on year with increasing numbers of notifications.</p><p> </p><p>The Ministry of Justice and the ICO are looking at the current funding model as part of negotiations on the proposed EU Data Protection Regulation.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab grouped question UIN 6938 6947 6948 6949 6951 6952 question first answered 22/07/2015 10:07:56 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2015 answer text <p>The Modern Slavery Act 2015 consolidated and simplified existing modern slavery offences into one Act and increased the maximum sentence available for the most serious offenders from 14 years to life imprisonment. The 2015 Act also introduced Slavery and Trafficking Prevention Orders and Slavery and Trafficking Risk Orders to restrict the activity of individuals where they pose a risk of causing harm. In addition, the Act makes sure that that perpetrators convicted of slavery or trafficking face the toughest asset confiscation regime. The Act also establishes the UK’s first ever Independent Anti-slavery Commissioner to drive forward the law enforcement response and hold them to account at all levels, ensuring that the perpetrators are caught and prosecuted and that the victims are swiftly identified so they can get help.</p><p> </p><p>The number of offenders cautioned and defendants proceeded against at magistrates courts and found guilty and sentenced at all courts in England and Wales for (i) human trafficking for sexual exploitation and (ii) human trafficking for non-sexual exploitation, from 2012 to 2014, can be viewed in the Outcomes by Offence table in the most recent annual publication at the below link</p><p><a title="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/criminal-justice-system-statistics-quarterly-december-2014" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/criminal-justice-system-statistics-quarterly-december-2014" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/criminal-justice-system-statistics-quarterly-december-2014</a></p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 20/07/2015 15:05:33 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous
