The single new NIR proposal was ditched last autumn, to be replaced by a progressive cleaning of the DWP database over many years, the linking of that database to the growing IPS passport database, and the yet to be developed biometric data database (used initially in association with biometric data to be loaded into newly issued passports, starting in a couple of years or so). As for the permanent retention (as opposed to prudent temporary holding of an audit trail) of transaction records when verification requests are made, that issue can be resolved later.dreamingspirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00324207120279777521noreply@blogger.com
