Sam Coates flags up Labour's demand of journalists who want to attends its election press conferences:
In addition to home address, home telephone number, work or mobile telephone number and e-mail address, which is already stretching it somewhat, they have just ask for:
» Passport Number (if you have one)
» National Insurance number
» Driving Licence number (if you have one)
» Your private and company vehicle registration numbers
»A passport style photo in an appropriate digital format
I've a suggestion. If everyone simply wrote back 'no thanks, too much information' they'd have no choice but to reduce their demands, or face holding their press conferences in an empty room.
