Public does not trust government with personal data

A report in Computer Weekly entitled Public does not trust government with personal data | 18 Mar 2008 | ComputerWeekly.com: tells us some interesting stats.
"Only one in 10 adults in the UK trusts the government with their personal data, an online survey reveals. ... The survey found 41% were in favour of introducing ID cards in the UK, 40% were against, and 19% undecided."

Presumably the 31% who were in favour of introducing ID cards but didn't trust the government were in favour of introducing them to other people!

"Spend and tax" not "tax and spend"

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
