James Slck and Sue Reid write in the Daily Mail:
Banks and other businesses are to be sold access to personal information stored on the Government’s ID cards database.
Ministers want to raise hundreds of millions towards the £540 million a year cost of running the controversial scheme.
The Government is already facing a backlash over charging people £93 each for an ID card – which will contain 49 different pieces of personal data.
Now ministers are planning to charge companies around 60p a time to check details held on the giant “big brother” database. They hope for up to 770 million “verifications” each year.
