care to give some examples of leaked personal info .Yes there have been cases where information has been lost or left on a laptop somewhere but to my knowledge none have led to a explosion of id theft or ambulance chasing lawyers .Most of your details i.e name address ect are already available anyway from the council register commonly sold to companies for mail drops and cold calling

Agreed.

If it only ever goes out in anonymised versions then we don't have a problem that's true.

However we all know how over time we see the loosening of what was agreed where money has an influence. Money especially if its multi millions as one poster puts it has a lot of sway. Bottom line for me is i don't trust them to stay good to there word because there is potentially ££££ involved and lots of ££££ and history has seen goal posts moved by money.

Yes you can say that again as sometimes l get 4 or 5 instances of cold calling a week sometimes.:(

Proof that big business finds a way to get the data if there is money involved. I know there is no proof yet that this will be sold but if the Government is involved then money will be involved.

Yeh, but think of the plus side. it might mean they don't put 1p on a litre of fuel, and the cost of fags only go up by 20p and not 30p :)
