Data plan is draconian

The government plans to allow people's details to be shared across government departments and agencies.

The Information Sharing Orders would remove data protection restrictions that mean information can only be used for the purpose it was taken.

The plans are not confined to public bodies - private companies in any country could also see people's information, and there would be a greater risk of information being lost.

Among other measures in the bill is one to allow some inquests in England and Wales to be held without juries.
