The EU will 'Bug' Every New Car sold in the UK

British government ministers have admitted they are powerless to stop the European Union forcing car manufacturers to put GPS tracking chips in all cars sold in the UK by October 2015.

Privacy campaigners, however, have warned that the technology could be abused by police and insurance companies in order to track car journeys. 

The government also believes that the technology will add at least £100 to the cost of vehicles, without providing any real security improvements.
