As far as i am concerned:
The following are illegal to request:
Gender
Ethnicity
Date of Birth
Marital status
While these are no business of theirs and should not be provided even after the job is secured unless there is a particular reason (aka Security clearance required)
passport number
dvla drivers number (unless the job requires driving of client vehicle)
National Insurance number
As to references, as a rule should never provided untill a contract is actually offered
