Clause 152 of the Coroners and Justice Bill - currently being debated by the UK Parliament - would allow any Minister by order to take any information gathered for one purpose from anywhere, and use it for any other purpose.
Your information, your family's information, arbitrarily used without your consent or even knowledge. The very reverse of 'Data Protection'.
An 'Information Sharing Order', as defined in Clause 152, would permit your information to be trafficked and abused, not only all across government and the public sector - it would also reach into the private sector. And it would even allow transfer of information across international borders.
Please write to your MP now - AND TELL OTHERS.
Link to this group, e-mail your friends, write to your local papers. Be creative, be persistent - and don't delay.
If we act now, we can stop this. If we don't, another fundamental building block of privacy and trust will be lost.
It's up to us.

Maybe this is the first you have heard of the question, or maybe you are not convinced... Please read the briefing Guy Herbert (NO2ID's general secretary) prepared for Parliamentarians that explains in detail why this is such a deceptive and dangerous piece of legislation:

Call me stupid but they seem to be doing their best to restrict these. What is writing to MPs going to achieve?
