It's not actually the number that's the problem but the database. It's basically the same deal as the database that New Labour proposed to go with ID cards, so has been called ID cards via the back door. You know the ID cards that Labour passed a law about then the coalition repealed because it was too authoritarian.
Honest question: in what way is a unique citizen reference number different from a a national insurance number?
