From what I can read (preliminary read through) from the bill is it allows for easier and quicker access to data for ministers of departments of the government (including the devolved governments) where it's relevant to that department. I don't see something saying that they don't have to abide by DPA1998 or are allowed to freely distribute the data to insurance companies to to civil servants in that department.
Once the governments got a file on you, it's got a file on you.

Hell, why not publically announce they will share the information since they've been sharing it with everyone for so long now, every time they lose a laptop or a load of files with sensitive data on.
Well, there is that, there really, really needs to be a massive overhaul of the transportation of data within the government and civil servants. What does worry me is most of this data seems to be unencrypted or even the cds/laptops/hardrives are simply password protected.

Same here...you must be rusty, taking so long to get to a UK bashing thread. Now we just have to wait for Shanzem or whatever his name is so we can ignore his posts too.

Like I said I was speechless the English know better then this I am sure. 
I've actually grown fond of the English 
You are English.
