Q. The Government has announced new data-sharing laws to allow public bodies, including town halls, access to your personal data held by other government bodies. Ministers say this will reduce inefficiencies, while critics say it is in breach of data protection laws.
Do you think this proposal will or will not give the Government too much access to your personal data?
Will give too much power 65%; Will not 19%; Don’t know 17%

Not that the public opinion matters much to the British government anyway. If your a corporate entity with lots of money, that's a different story.
