And what happens after three years?    Does Dave O'Donnell think that
the records will all be destroyed?

I fear that Simon is right.    

The reality is that a number of large organizations hold our personal
details and that in practise there many ways in which this information
can be 'shared' - by personal contact, by bribed contact, by police
request and by governmental request (especially US Government request)
'for security purposes'.

Simon's knowledge poses an important question.  Why are those who think
of themselves as social reformers, or as belonging to the left, seem so
much out of touch such realities?  

Capitalism, supported by information technology has delivered the goods
- and the information.   We are confronted by detailed evidence of the
inequalities that exist without any obvious way of combating them.  Is
that why we seek new enemies among those who are revealed as in control
of the technology and others identified in that lovely phrase as "master
race missionaries"

I am less worried about this than others who have expressed an opinion.
LM is one of a small number of companies that has the machinery to open
as many letters and scan as many forms as is required in the time
available.

If you really want to worry though, bear in mind that (I seem to recall)
they did the processing for the last census and they will already be
doing all sorts of other official and non-official mailings!
