answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2014 answer text <p>HMRC requires specific legal authority or a ‘gateway' in order to be able to disclose information it holds in connection with its functions. Once this is in place, HMRC requires any disclosure of information to a public sector body to be governed by a robust Memorandum of Understanding. This will set out:</p><p> </p><p>· The legal basis for sharing the information;</p><p>· The agreed administrative arrangements, including timescales, persons involved, security arrangements and frequency of disclosure;</p><p>· The circumstances (if any) under which the data may be disclosed and the sanctions that protect against unlawful disclosure of the information; and</p><p>· The mechanism for maintaining an audit trail or record for HMRC of all external disclosures of data.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC has a duty to ensure that any information transfers to a public sector body are legal and secure. HMRC also seeks an ongoing assurance that the transferred information will be treated in accordance with agreed standards and protocols. In addition, even where a legal gateway exists, any information disclosures must be compliant with both the Data Protection Act and the Human Rights Act.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 10/06/2014 09:57:14 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
