photo ID cards

[wolfie citizen smith]

is anyone aware of the seriousness surrounding this issue, i.e the freedom of informations act, who exactly is going to have access to this information, i have been made aware that the 3 main emergancy services will have your information as the photo cards are barcoded.
i am a slightly concerned that NO information has been passed down from CWU HQ relating to this subject and have been made aware that royal mail hold a signed agreement with the CWU relating to photo ID cards (only a swiggle signature i might add with no printed name form the CWU official)

does anyone know any more

No but I do know that you can ask what information they have:
