Who cares about civil liberties when there is cash to be made?! Am I the only real contractor on this board?

EDS / IBM / Fujitsu / SCC / etc. will get the contract, or bits of it shared between them, and they will farm it out to India to do the work.
So it will be - just like every other large government IT project - truckloads of UK taxpayer's cash going to Merkin shareholders and a few vanloads to Indian software house owners and a few pennies to Indian graduates.
You'll get bugger all except all your personal data processed in India where it can be sold to the Russian mafia to clean out your accounts and there's nothing you can do about it because it happened outside the EU.
Not that that matters since the business case (not for public scrutiny of course) includes the income predicted from 'sharing' the data with reputable organisations such insurance companies, banks, credit-checking companies, the CIA and so on.
