Dear Editor

The recent HMRC data scandal clearly shows government contempt for personal privacy and security, they simply cannot be
trusted with all the information that the National Identity Register will demand.

Fingerprints and a detailed record of all your ID-verified transactions is data that has NEVER been collected before, counter to some
MPs' claims that "we have it all already".

This scandal clearly demonstrates the fallacy of "nothing to hide, nothing to fear".

It is bad enough that the government can't look after families' financial details - if allowed to proceed, in a few short years the Home
Office will be leaking or losing people's complete identity records.

The more data it has, the worse it will get.

Contrary to government assertion, biometrics WILL NOT secure your official record - but they will make it more valuable to fraudsters and organised
crime.

With a quarter of a million civil servants having unrestricted access to all our personal information, the avenues for crime and abuse are limitless

The loss of financial information into millions of families, putting their personal banking details at risk ,was an accident that was bound to happen, sooner or later.

We in the No2ID campaign have been proven right.

ID cards and the Data control /surveillance society must be stopped now, please write to your MP''s now before your data is sold to the highest bidder
