Nice thought but that is not fool-proof. It dosn'e cater for people claiming their brother's qualifications and even submitting the certificates.
it reduces the amount of personal data held unnecessarily by the MoD.
It could also be argued that retention of application data for the life of an applicants recruitment life, say 16-39, might be justified to monitor whether an appicant has made numerous and unsuccessful applications and even changed their 'legend.'
Retaining or collating all that material on one laptop is an entirely different matter. Surely any data analysis should be done at the HQ level and not an outstation. As it appears itis Air Force/Navy data well the mind boggles 600000 for a combined force of 70-80000.
