I have met with the Data Commissioner in 2009 and in 2010 in regard to this matter and detailed discussions have also taken place at official level. The Commissioner has confirmed that he does not oppose a unique identifier postcode model provided that appropriate safeguards were put in place as to the uses that could be made of such a postcode. I will consult with the Data Commissioner in this regard as necessary in the context of the introduction of a postcodes system.
