Under data protection legislation my Department is prohibited from providing personal details of a customer to another member of the public. However if a person is legally responsible for that customer’s affairs and can provide proof of this responsibility, my Department will be happy to provide the information that is required.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
