Do you have references regarding the Data Protection Act and deleting uproven allegations?

Shami Chakrabati(Liberty) was on radio 4 this morning, and she like eveyone else seemed to think that the data should not have been deleted.

Perhaps if there was a failiure, (though I do not hold with the view that unproved allegations prove that someone is "a wrong'un"), then it was with the Criminal Records Bureau, another ill fated government IT project on which costs spiralled, delivery was late, and data was hugely inaccurate.
