Mr Emlyn-Jones said: “I am really quite disturbed about it.問emlyn -瓊斯說： "我真的很不安。 It reminds me of a Big Brother state.它使我想起了一個大哥哥。 There may be advantages in having a fingerprint database, but the price you pay is too high It is as if they know it is wrong and have done it secretly, hoping no-one finds out..可能會有優勢在於，具有指紋數據庫，但代價實在太高，這是因為如果他們知道這是錯誤的，並已做了秘密，希望沒有人發現..
“Once people are on a computer then the world’s your oyster as far as the Government is concerned. "一旦人一台電腦的話，世界的你的牡蠣就政府而言，是這樣。
“It also desensitises kids. "它也desensitises孩子。 When they’re grown up and they apply for a passport and apply for jobs they won’t bat an eyelid about having fingerprints taken or a laser being shined in their eyes.” Mr Emlyn-Jones added.當他們長大了，他們申請護照，並申請工作，他們將不會蝙蝠一個眼皮大約有指紋或激光正在閃耀著，在他們眼中"先生emlyn -瓊斯補充說。

The Liberal Democrats are urging parents to write to the government to find out if schools are fingerpritning its pupils and to push for regulation across all LEAs.自由民主黨正敦促父母寫信給政府找出來，如果學校fingerpritning學生，並推動監管所有租賃。

“They are also obliged to inform pupils, or parents where the child is too young to understand, what information they have on record and what they use it for. "他們也有責任，告知學生，或父母那裡的孩子太年輕，要了解，什麼樣的資訊，他們已經記錄下來，他們用它。

“We will shortly be issuing guidance to all schools on best practice when taking, storing and disposing of data, including biometric data.” "我們將在短期內發出指引，為所有學校的最佳做法時，貯存和處置的數據，包括生物統計數據" 。
