giving them aort of details out is a breach of data protection so I can't see it taking off, just another stupid idea by the government that hopefully won't be passed.
Thrasher:
Gareth .. it's not a breach if you tell them - as it is YOUR information and declared by YOU :D
You can tell SWMBO is Data Protection Officer can't you ;-)

Yes that is true but because they ask it of you and your in a no win situation I think that is still a breach, i'll ask the trainers here when I see them. End of the day, what happens if you refuse to give this infomation. They then say that you cannot fly so you have to give it too them therefore they breach the DPA. What does gaining this infomation give them, I don't know the actual wording but the act states that infomation held against a consumer must be relivent to what it is and if anymore infomation is held against that individual then this is deemed as incorrect storage of data. I can see why they want the details but if someone in the government decided to go into my bank details etc without my permission and my bank then gave that infomation out, I would have cause then to report my bank to the FSA for breaching my infomation to a 3rd party.
I do DPA as well in my line of work but I'm guessing it's no where near your SWMBO's level of knowledge :oops:
