Too much information.

There are some companies who examine the licences of approved drivers to check for points for insurance purposes so I'm not sure how they will continue to ensure employees have 6 or less points etc. I suppose you could get them to sign a declaration if they lie it's fraud or misconduct so you can sack them more easily if that suits in future I suppose.

My company (Network Rail) has recently issued documents for you to sign that will allow their contracted company to access licence records and manage the fitness of staff to drive.
I'd guess with the timings it's down to the changes at DVLA.
One another point, what systems are there for insurers to check points history over 5 years? Mine (correctly) aren't showing on DVLA systems as they are now 4.5 years old,

As the paper licence is going, will they still be on the database?
They certainly aren't after 4 years as mine are not showing.

Can I assume Insurance Hunter and CIFAS are a shared database insurers use?

It's "these data". The singular is datum - it means "something given".

Loadacrap.
If I have a memory stick that contains 2GB of data, I can use it to copy this data onto a computer. No one would say "copy these data", unless they were a pompous prat trying, and failing, to be clever.
In modern usage, and in this context, data simply means an amount of information.
