Proceeding contribution from Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on A Surveillance Society?.
A Surveillance Society?
I wanted to raise earlier an issue regarding the national identity register. The Select Committee report wanted confirmation that""the National Identity Register will not be used as a matter of routine to monitor the activities of individuals."" The Government's response stated that""it would be a significant undertaking to use it 'to monitor the activities of individuals' and certainly not something that would be practicable to use as a matter of course or in real-time."" I hoped that the Government would state definitively that they will not use the register to monitor the activities of individuals. The response had more caveats than that.
