A joint project team, led by the Office for National Statistics with the close involvement of HM Treasury, is examining the feasibility of developing a high-quality common population register. This would hold core data and a unique identifier on UK residents that could be used across the public sector. Any proposals that emerge from the study will be fully consistent with legislation covering data protection and privacy.
The feasibility study was first announced in the green paper on entitlement cards and identity fraud (Cm 5557 is available at the Home Office website ) published in July 2002. Earlier work, led by Patrick Carter of the Public Services Productivity Panel, indicated that a population register could be used to generate significant customer service and efficiency benefits across the public services.
