"The Government's hard line on the collection and use of information on travellers could isolate it within Europe and leave it with less information than other states, a parliamentary committee has warned. The House of Lords European Union Committee has said that the UK Government's desire to see passenger name record (PNR) data used for all serious crime and extended beyond just air travel could force it outside an EU-wide agreement on the information."
