A few quotes from the Conservative manifesto: "Labour’s approach to our personal privacy is the worst of all worlds – intrusive, ineffective and enormously expensive." "We will scrap ID cards, the National Identity Register and the Contactpoint database." "We will scale back Labour’s database state and protect the privacy of the public’s information." "We will introduce a balanced approach to the retention of people’s DNA and reform the criminal records system so it protects children without destroying trust." "The indefinite retention of innocent people’s DNA is unacceptable, yet DNA data provides a useful tool for solving crimes. We will legislate to make sure that our DNA database is used primarily to store information about those who are guilty of committing crimes rather than those who are innocent." "We will review and reform libel laws to protect freedom of speech, reduce costs and discourage libel tourism." "Wherever possible, we believe that personal data should be controlled by individual citizens themselves. We will strengthen the powers of the Information Commissioner to penalise any public body found guilty of mismanaging data."
