The Citizen Information Project is about increasing the capacity of the public sector to deal with citizens using all the information that comes from the key interactions that citizens have with the public service and it can draw on them by tying together the information that we have about their address.
The coverage of the Citizen Information Project, the population register, is essentially the total population of the United Kingdom and that will be obtained by bringing together the populations of the different registers that exist in health, tax, DVLA and education.
Citizens will be much more effectively protected in terms of the legal environment and the protections that would exist and the limitations that will exist for the use of the information on the population register.
