LONDON (AFX) - The government has admitted that the cost of introducing identity cards will be almost double its original estimate of 3 bln stg, the Financial Times reported.

The Home Office now estimates that the introduction of identity cards will cost 5.5 bln usd to get running over 10 years, the financial broadsheet said.

Douggie,is it possible that you can stay in Egypt for the next six mounths or so,you were wright you are a jinx to Idd. Only joking.goal.

i hope it keeps going, kicking myself for not taking v good profit earlier in the year, looks like we could be returning to those days & highs !

There must be something happening in the backround that somebody knows about. We have had massive increases for the last 3 days and the volume is getting heavier. Any one know what or is just rumours re: ID Cards etc..

ID Cards are due to be debated in Parliament this coming Monday. The goverment seems intent on bringing them in. The total cost is estimated at 8 billion sterling (BBC tonight) with the cards costing around 40% of this figure. It's big and IDD reckon they're in for the kill if all goes their way.

.....ID Data has developed a range of secure solutions for the UK and international
markets in this fast-growing sector. A significant proportion of Europe's 450
million-strong population will require identity cards, plastic drivers' licences
and health cards thus offering significant potential. The acquisition of
CardBASE, together with our secure-production, position us well to provide local
and national identity solutions.

We believe that as the only British-owned smart-card company, we are uniquely
placed to participate in any introduction of national ID cards in the UK, having
contributed to the consultation process and formed strategic alliances to offer
a comprehensive and compelling solution.

Conservatives 'united' on ID cards
Wednesday, 15 Dec 2004 04:35
The Conservatives' Shadow Cabinet is "united" in its decision to support the Government's Identity Cards Bill, leader Michael Howard has said.

The former Home Secretary said the cabinet would take collective responsibility in supporting the controversial legislation.

Mr Howard said he was convinced ID cards would bolster the fight against terrorism, crime and immigration, helping to make Britain a safer place.

However, they would make clear that they had concerns about the costs, which have been put at up to 6 billion, and the implications for personal privacy. But these objections will be raised during the detailed discussions on the legislation.

It was reported Mr Howard faced some rumblings of discontent on the front benches from Shadow Home Secretary David Davis, Shadow Chancellor Oliver Letwin and Transport and Environment Spokesman Tim Yeo, who reportedly said the plans "stink".

The Bill receives its second reading in the Commons on Monday.

New Home Sec strongly in favour of ID cards
