Dear Mr Foomer,

Thank you for your email.

I suggest it would be quickest if you contact the department that
is
likely to hold the relevant information, and in this instance it is
the
Ministry of Justice. The MoJ lead on data sharing policy, so they
are
probably more likely to hold the information you are after.

I have attached the contact link below;

http://www.justice.gov.uk/information/wh...

You do need to make the request direct to the MoJ as they are a
separate
public authority under the Freedom of Information Act.

Please get in touch if you have any further queries, but I think
you are
more likely to find if there is any information, by approaching the
above department direct. I propose to take no further action unless
I
hear from you.

Kind regards,

Yasmine Edwards

Dear Walker, John,

To clarify, please tell me what types of data are passed between
government departments which are related to a person.

For example, name, address, date of birth, health details,
financial details, entry/exit from the UK.

A list of these data types (not specific information) and the
departments between which they are passed is required.

Yours sincerely,

P Foomer
