Government should abandon ID Card plans
The government has admitted that it has been guilty of "overselling" the case for a compulsory national identity card scheme in Britain and conceded that it will not prove a panacea for fraud, terrorism or the abuse of public services. Colin Ross, Liberal Democrat candidate at the General Election in Wolverhampton South West, said "The Government should abandon its ID Card, they have finally admitted that it will not stop fraud, terrorism or abuse of public services so there is no go real good reason for continuing with the scheme."
