Government database on children should be scrapped!

The Liberal Democrats have repeated their call for the government database containing details on every child in the UK to be scrapped, following the publication today of an independent review into its security.

The accountants' report says the database could never be secure. Lib Dems have attacked the Government for refusing to publish the full report.
