Data lapse must not happen again - Bell

The chief minister says ensuring the security of official data held on residents is a government priority. 

The Income Tax Division had to apologise last week after accidentally circulating a list of thousands of personal email addresses. 

Alan Bell says the lapse was deeply regrettable and must not happen again. 

The Data Protection Supervisior is now investigating the case. 

Mr Bell says the public has a right to assume private information held by government is confidential - especially as Island residents are being encouraged to use online services.
