Identity cover up

While it is ok for government to want an Identity Card that will contain 51 categories of data on every adult in the UK, the Department of Works and Pensions thinks it is unacceptable for it to hand over three government reports into the costs and benefits of the identity card scheme. The Information Commissioner has ordered DWP to comply with a Freedom of Information request by Lib Dem Mark Oaten but they are appealing, a process that will take some months.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
