UK: ID Card database could contain medical and criminal records
The Government has tabled an amendment to the ID Card Bill which could be used to allow the ID Card database to contain "sensitive personal data" – a term which is defined to include details of criminal and medical records.
This prospect reverses the position stated in the Government's public consultation documents in which it confirmed that none of the information in the ID Card database falls within the category of sensitive personal data as defined by the Data Protection Act.
The amendment is to be debated tomorrow.
