GOOGLE AND THE CAPTURE OF DATA USING STREET VIEW CARS

Early day motion 883, tabled 25 October 2010 by Robert Halfon (Conservative). Signed by 13 members.

That this House is deeply concerned at the statement of Alan Eustace, senior vice-president for engineering and research at Google, when he admitted that his company's Street View cars captured entire e-mails and URLs... as well as passwords; notes that Google has promised to make changes to internal compliance procedures; also notes, however, that in recent months there has been a series of invasions of personal privacy by the firm, which are beginning to look like a pattern; therefore welcomes the Backbench Business Committee debate into these matters on 28 October 2010; and calls on the Information Commissioner to be thorough and proactive in its inquiry.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 7, Labour 5, Conservative 1.
