National DNA Database

• Recent Government spending on the NDNAD will
  mean that by 2004, it will hold over 3 million
  suspect samples virtually the entire criminally
  active population.
• Britain leads the world in the use of DNA
  technology to bring criminals to justice. The
  NDNAD now up to one million samples is a
  vital weapon in the law enforcement arsenal,
  helping to remove thousands of repeat criminals
  from circulation. Charles Clarke MP
• What the government tells you is on the database
  Suspects DNA profiles have been matched to
  those from a whole range of crimes from murder,
  manslaughter and rape, to burglary and car
  crime.

LandlordsData.com

• Registration information should include the
  tenants NI Numbers and Dates of Birth, any
  Agreements in force and even Mobile Phone
  Numbers. Our computer will then gather all the
  information you enter and file it against that
  Tenant.
• Imagine that within months you could have a
  prospective tenant sitting in front of you with
  no references (or worse false ones) and, at the
  click of a button, you could tell them more about
  them than they care to remember.

• DSS NEED NOT APPLY!!!!
• Due to Massive media coverage across the UK
  landlordsdata has been the subject of debates and
  has been condemned by Shelter Groups and other
  Housing Associations as they consider that this
  web site will make people homeless simply because
  it can take on line references regarding a
  tenants history of tenure and behaviour.

14
And landlordsdata.coms response?

• It is becoming apparent to the members of
  Landlordsdata that the NFRL and many other
  private landlords associations have become no
  more to their members than an elaborate front
  which hides an Insurance Companies Agent.
• Landlordsdata will continue to assist landlords
  and tenants who are victims of this housing
  problem and offer all its services to those who
  know that the present system doesnt work and
  wish to do something about it. In conjunction
  with this we have now tied up with Legal Risk
  Management who have agreed to offer a reduced
  premium to landlords in order to guarantee their
  rents and their legal expenses if their Tenancy
  is breached, from as little as 31.00 for six
  months. It has further offered discounted
  Building Insurance for which Landlordsdata will
  not charge any commission to its member on any of
  these services.
• Hopefully you will continue to follow the story
  of this unique web site which is the only
  recognised national (Commission of Data
  Protection Approved) tenant tracking system in
  the UK and we can get the Government to stop
