Exclusive The British Government is to employ dotcoms to keep tabs on its citizens.

A pilot scheme due to be launched next month will automatically inform different Government departments when people move house or change address.

Ihavemoved.com, simplymove.co.uk and the Royal Mail - which all provide change of address services - will take part in the Net-based trial.

Big Brother is watching you.

A spokeswoman for the Cabinet Office played down concerns that the Government was acting as a "Big Brother". She said that the scheme was purely voluntary for users and they would be able to choose whet
her they wanted their information passed on or not.

Initially.

Voluntary means about 10,000 Labour Party Members will have been pressed INTO phpbb_service. Of course,they will all say in unison, "I think it's another good Labour Party idea."
