The only reason I'm opposed to the scheme is that I really don't trust the government to keep my data safe.
The people that will use this data or have access to are some of the most underpaid workforce in the UK, highlighted by a strike earlier this week. What motivation do they have to keep my data safe? Why wouldn't they take up an offer from a criminal network to earn more money by passing data on when the government in some cases doesn't even pay them enough that thye don't have to apply for some of the benefits they are actaully in charge of issuing.
At the end of the day any project like this will take forever to get finalised and put into use, judging by their past track record of similiar IT infrastructure projects.
