THIS is the bigger problem, nevermind LAB & CON squabbling about who did what. THIS is the issue, and it's a worrying one,. it shows a lack of due diligence and transparency on all sides.
With legislation like that slipping in, we're all farked. Where else has stuff been quietly erased...

Yep, this is the clause that I referred to earlier that was deleted in 2014.

Government departments run
very slowly and are renowned for being inept. Anyone needing a job or accommodation will most likely have lost the opportunity to obtain a vacancy or a home by the time they received the documentation that they needed.

How do you build a central government database on these issues? Do you get people to prove it now or continuously collect data for the next 100 years before you can use the database. 
Would you like people to have access to your bank account on the basis of a name and a date(eg date of birth or date of arrival)? |
And doing this would bring in civil rights concerns and Human Rights Act legislation (right to a private family life clause).
