Former shadow home secretary David Davies sends a timely reminder of his continued existence to Cammers by stating that “My party would be mad to give control of sensitive records to an internet giant notorious for ignoring privacy concerns”.
The MP who resigned from the shadow cabinet to cause a by-election at Haltemprice & Howden over something-or-other kicks off his article in the Times tentatively with: “When I read ... that the Conservative Party was planning to transfer people’s health data to Google, my heart sank. The policy described was so naive I could only hope that it was an unapproved kite-flying exercise by a young researcher in Conservative HQ. If not, what was proposed was both dangerous in its own right, and hazardous to the public acceptability of necessary reforms to the state’s handling of our private information.” Thereafter, you definitely get the impression that he is against the idea.
Davis has chosen his ground well and carefully to fire off a shot at those who would keep him on the backbenches. These same individuals however will now be deciding on the most effective way to point out that the policy proposal comes from a team formed under Davis’ watch.

I see that Blackie has also posted or rather done his usual cut and paste on this. Makes a change from doing anonymous comments on the EP website I suppose.
