That's a very good point about the IC's powers being limited.
A further article in Computing yesterday - online ref
http://www.computing.co.uk/computing/news/2071330/ministers-approve-proposed-database-children-uk
(which is slightly different to the printed article)
- highlights the fact that the government is to go ahead with plans to
create a database of all UK children despite reservations expressed by the
IC.
