*Let's hope there's an innocent explanation for his absence. From our friends at* [*NO2ID:*](http://www.no2id.net/news/events.php?ref=opendemocracy.net#181)

## Tue, 8th Apr 2008 — NO2ID London Mayoral Hustings on

**THE DATABASE STATE**

As well as housing Whitehall, London has many information and identity management systems of its own. How do candidates feel about the civil liberties and privacy implications of the Oyster Card, congestion charging, telephone parking? Would they support or oppose national ID schemes as mayor? What is their attitude to the database state?

Chaired by Christina Zaba: prospective candidates Gerard Batten (UKIP), Siân Berry (Green), Lindsey German (Respect / The Left List), Boris Johnson (Conservative), and Brian Paddick (Liberal Democrat) have confirmed they will be attending.

**Time:** Doors open 6:30pm, Tuesday 8th April for a prompt 7:00pm start.

**Place:** Friends House, 173 Euston Road, London NW1 2BJ ([map](http://www.quaker.org.uk/Templates/SubSiteInternal.asp?blnPrintFriendly=True&NodeID=90413&int1stParentNodeID=89868&int2ndParentNodeID=89870&int3rdParentNodeID=90413&ref=opendemocracy.net))

And Manchester debates the database state on the same day, Tuesday, April 8 at 7:00pm, at Manchester Museum of Science and Industry. Click here for [details and registration](http://www.facebook.com/n/?event.php&eid=13043283782)
