| Title |
Identity cards and national identity register to be scrapped |
| Details |
The Government has introduced the Identity Documents Bill which will
invalidate the previous government's plans to introduce identity cards
for British citizens by autumn 2010. The National Identity Register,
the database which contains the biographic and biometric fingerprint
data of card holders, will also be abolished by this legislation. The
Government aims to have the Bill pass through Parliament and enacted by
the Parliamentary recess in August 2010 and the Bill is expected to
gain Royal Assent shortly afterwards.
