More details
"The proposed identity management system has multiple layers
The NIR (National Identity Register) — individual checking and numbering of the population — marking many personal details as "registrable facts" to be disclosed and constantly updated — collection and checking of biometrics (e.g. fingerprints) — the card itself — a widespread scanner network and secure (one hopes) infrastructure connecting it to the central database — provision for use across the private and public sectors — data-sharing between organisations on an unprecedented scale.
Massive accumulation of personal data #
50 categories of registrable fact are set out in the Bill, though they could be added to. Effectively an index to all other official and quasi-official records, through cross-references and an audit trail of all checks on the Register, the NIR would be the key to a total life history of every individual, to be retained even after death."

  • i do believe their are justified resons for i.d. card but do not believe in tony blair proposal that will cost me. banks should all put you photo on you bank cards this would help prevent card fraud and not be necesary to charge me as banks should save money long term from reduction in fraud. as these card are all ready their the cost to set up such a scheme would be minimal. so i will not vote for a party that support the current id card scheme when their are cheaper options that will benefit me an others more.
