BIG BROTHER is a fictional character in George Orwell's novel: Nineteen Eighty-Four and in the society that Orwell describes, every citizen is under constant surveillance by the authorities and everyone is reminded of this by the phrase: 'BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU' Yesterday a surprise press announcement was made concerning radical proposals to link thousands of government databases with the aim of permitting access to sharing of this information by 'all bodies providing public services'. It is generally assumed that such a 'body' (allowed access) would include bailiffs/enforcement agents pursuing government debts. The 'databases' (of which there are thousands) will include the following: The Passport Office, Land Registry (regarding property purchases and sales) School and University records (to check qualifications) Local Authorities (to check council tax records) HM Courts (to check details of criminal records/fines) Energy companies (to check gas and electricity usage) Driving Licence and DVLA records (to check endorsements and vehicle ownership) The 'proposals' have been drawn up by Francis Maude MP and will be contained in a White Paper in the Autumn and may feature in draft legislation for introduction after the 2015 election. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/poli...vate-data.html
