An ID database for post-referendum Scotland? A legal-contextual analysis

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

To the surprise of many observers, the Scottish government announced in early 2015 plans for a Scottish National ID system, based on the existing health service database. The Scottish National Party (SNP), in power in Scotland since 2007, had previously strongly rejected similar plans for a national database for the whole of the UK due to privacy concerns. How can this change of policy be explained?
