“The scheme represented the worst aspect of Government. It was intrusive, bullying, ineffective and expensive,” was the verdict of Home Office minister Damian Green on the recent axing of a national identity card programme via a parliamentary bill.

North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) has stepped up security practices by introducing CCTV in its vehicles to record any attacks on members of staff. The new measure is designed to provide proof of any attack that may be needed in any subsequent court cases. A spokeswoman for NEAS said: “The aim of the cameras is to observe attacks on paramedics. The evidence can then be used in any legal action we take following an incident. Also, as more people know about them, we hope they will act as a deterrent.” 
A study by Dr Emmeline Taylor on the use of CCTV in schools in England and Wales found many schools were failing under the Data Protection Act (DPA) to inform pupils and visitors that they were being monitored. Dr Taylor, as part of her PHD, surveyed 24 secondary schools, of which 23 had CCTV in operation. Gordon Ferrie, chief executive of CameraWatch, the UK’s independent advisory body on DPA compliance for CCTV, said: “It is no excuse to pass the buck to others when the law is clear.” 
CCTV cameras could have to be installed in all new taxis licensed in Brighton and Hove to stop drivers snubbing the disabled. At present the arrangement is optional, but the compulsory move has not been backed by taxi drivers even though a multi-organisation report suggested CCTV would give drivers greater protection and more evidence when they are involved in incidents. Cab drivers say the measures will deprive them of their privacy as the cameras will not be switched off even if they are using the vehicle in their own time.
