IDENTITY THEFT

Early day motion 965, tabled 21 March 2005 by Nigel Evans (Conservative). Signed by 57 members.

That this House notes the recent Fellowes poll on identity theft which found that 81 per cent. of the British public are concerned about becoming a victim of identity theft; calls upon the Government to combat identity theft by issuing clear guidelines to individuals and businesses, detailing the most effective ways to destroy information containing personal details; and believes that education is an effective way for the public to learn more about identity theft so people will destroy personal information and in turn will begin to make identity theft more difficult for criminals.

Signatures by party: Labour 32, Liberal Democrat 10, Conservative 8, DUP 3, UUP 2, Labour/Co-operative 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
