Changes to data protection laws ‘will give company bosses the shivers’ - Times Online

MPs are considering changes to the law that would make chief executives directly responsible for safeguarding the public’s personal data and make the improper or careless treatment of personal information a criminal offence.

Mr Thomas’s demands include the imposition of a US-style reporting duty on “major organisations” in the UK. The legislation would also include a requirement for certified confirmation from a company’s chief executive that safeguards have been put in place to protect personal data.
