The government faces calls to scrap a database containing the details of
every child in England after a report said it could never be secure.

The report, by accountants Deloitte and Touche, was ordered after last
year's missing data discs crisis.

Ministers say they accept its call for "further controls" on the £224m
ContactPoint child protection system.

But they have come under fire from the Lib Dems and Tories for refusing to
publish the full report.
