New report shows ID card scheme should be scrapped
March 14, 2008 2:04 PM
Commenting on today's British Computer Society report showing that confidence in the Government's handling of personal data has fallen, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Huhne said:
"The British public have shown themselves to be rightly sceptical of the unnecessary and illiberal ID cards scheme.
"Recent catastrophes involving personal data clearly demonstrate the inability of the Government to handle sensitive information.
"The ID card scheme should be scrapped immediately, and the money used to put 10,000 extra police officers on our streets."
