A Senate committee will hold hearings on identity theft and information brokers following the revelation that a databank with information on millions of people was accessed by criminals, the committee chairman said Thursday.

Democrats, including Sens. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Dianne Feinstein of California and Charles Schumer of New York, have been calling for a Judiciary Committee inquiry into whether more regulation of companies such as ChoicePoint Inc. that buy and sell personal data is needed.

“I got a letter from Senator Leahy yesterday on identity theft issue and I immediately said we can hold a hearing,” said Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa.
