We have sent in a Freedom of Information Act request to the Office for National Statistics regarding the Citizen Information Project
There is allegedly meant to be some sort of report about this massive database system and how it does or does not interact with or duplicate some or all of the National Identity Register
We have been told through confidential channels that there might be some very worried people in the ONS, who fear that the Citizen Information Project, especially if it is linked to the National Identity Register will either pollute statistical validity of Census based data. There are already parts of our cities where the Census data is simply not statistically valid, due to the fears of people about the the Poll Tax / Community Charge. how much worse will this get with the National identity Register and theID card scheme ?
The National Statistician and Registrar General for England and Wales, Len Cook is going back to New Zealand when his contract expires this year, could the Citizen Information Project have contributed to this decision ?
Our first FOIA request to the Office for National Statistics:
