Petition Action

Stop the government from sharing our financial information

Additional Information

Driving licences, criminal records and energy use data could be shared under radical plans to link government databases Details of the financial history, qualifications and property wealth of millions of Britons could be shared across Whitehall for the first time without their consent, the Telegraph can reveal. Information including voters’ driving licences, criminal records, energy use and even whether they use a bus pass could be shared under a radical blueprint to link up thousands of state databases used by schools, councils, police and civil servants.The proposals are likely to ignite privacy concerns if officials are granted unprecedented access to citizens’ private data. It will also trigger fears that data could be lost, in the wake of a notorious error in 2007 that saw CDs carrying the child benefit records of 25 million people go missing in the post.
