ID cards: gone

No to ID Cards

Labour's ID card system - scrapped!

Labour’s ID Card system and related National Identity Register are to be abolished.

This is one of many pieces of good news for Lib Dem members and supporters from the new coalition government agreement. The Lib Dems have campaigned against ID cards and the related register from the start, it was a multi billion pound scheme forever in search of a reason to exist, and now at last we have been able to put an end to them.

The ID card scheme was first rolled out across Greater Manchester, but very few people volunteered for one. Labour were spending hundreds of thousands of pounds every day on the unpopular scheme.
