AccMan TalkBack: The people have spoken – will HMRC listen?

    Brown will no doubt follow the time-honoured New Labour approach on this one:
    In ten days it will all be forgotten so don't bother resigning Darling

    The question no one seems to be asking is why did the NAO want all that personal data? And if it breaches HMRC procedures to supply it like that then presumably NAO have similar procedures - so why did they ask in the first place?

    It is now over 6000 comments. There are far too many questions about security here and this government has no right to try an introduce a security card.

    It's worrying when you think they also have access to all the details about our income, tax returns, NI etc etc...

    It's when something like this happens that people no longer wonder why some UK citizens don't vote...

    @alastair: as I understand it, the NAO did not request all the information HMRC copied onto the missing disks.

    Dennis, the facts are emerging slowly. It appears they asked for more limited information, but even that asked for breached HMRC guidelines. Still not clear who authorised the action.
