Members of Parliament (MPs) and Councillors
You may ask a Member of Parliament (MP) or a local Councillor for support in making a complaint. MPs or local Councillors who state that they are acting on behalf of the complainant will be assumed to have consent to do so. This is because the Council does not generally have to get the express consent of an individual to disclose personal information to an elected member as defined by Schedule 1, Part 2, paragraph 23(3) of the Data Protection Act.
