Call for construction industry 'blacklist' inquiry

MPs will hear calls later for a full inquiry into claims of the blacklisting of workers on major public projects such as Crossrail and the Olympics.
The move follows disclosures about a database of 3,000 names used to vet workers in the construction sector for more than 15 years.
Labour will hold a Commons debate on the allegations.
The existence of the list was exposed by a raid by the Information Commissioner's Office in 2009.

This list included details ranging from employment history to trade union activity and other personal information. Campaigners claimed the list blighted lives by denying people employment.
The vast majority of those blacklisted are still not even aware that information was collated and repeatedly used against them. MPs will hear calls for that to change.

Tsk,tsk. I bet however no one will ever be charged for breaking any laws and the 'list' will still exist in one form or another with bo concerns about the DPA.
