Мартин Китингс 2 hrs · To The Electoral Commissioner & The Information Commissioner. RE: Baby Number - Labour Website I am writing in regards to a rather worrying page I have just seen on the Labour parties website. It looks innocent enough but delve deeper and you will see that it is more than meets the eye. https://donation.labour.org.uk/index.php/nhs-birthday/birthday.php?d=I+was+the+26%2C021%2C501st+baby+born+on+the+NHS The website reads: “Since our NHS was founded on 5 July 1948, its incredible staff have delivered almost 44 million babies.” “Tell us your birthday, and we’ll tell you which number baby you were.” At first glance the page seems like a nice public interest site where users can find out what number they were on the NHS. However if you look closer you will actually see that the form (as stated in tiny writing at the bottom) is for marketing purposes. This is clearly deception to obtain information for marketing purposes which under law could be construed as blagging. I would like the ICO and Electoral commission to look into this because this is just not appropriate. Sincerely, Martin James Keatings
