Identity Cards

EDM number 1449 in 2008-09, proposed by Nigel Evans on 07/05/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Privacy.

That this House calls for the identity cards scheme to be scrapped; notes that Manchester will become the first city where people can sign up for an identity card; further notes that the cost of the cards will be capped at 30 for the first two years and then there will be an additional cost to the applicant of getting a card via a post office or high street pharmacy meaning that the total cost will be 60; understands that the scheme will cost 5 billion; believes that a single city voluntary basis trial is a waste of time and money; and calls on the Government to abandon all plans for an identity cards scheme.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
