Thanks fairford. It's obvious the government has had to water down the Bill to get it passed through Parliament. However, once it's an accepted fact they will gradually tighten the string. Somehow I doubt they will want to wait until 2013 before making ID Cards compulsory.

The stated purpose of the Bill is to:

Disrupt the use of false and multiple identities which are used by organised criminals and in a third of terrorist-related activity.

Tackle illegal working and immigration abuse.

Ensure free public services are used only by those who are properly entitled to them.

Ensure British citizens are able to travel freely as international requirements for secure biometric identity documents develop.

Fairford, grevis2,good post.Agree with you 100%.goal

Just got in

Some significant buys by Market Makers, always a very good sign

We've joined the leaderboard:

Top % Gainers
# EPIC Name Price Chg %
23 IDD Id Data Ord 1p 3.375 0.25 8.0

what should we make of that late T trade of 2.250.000 @ 3.o2p?? a brill day, huge trade no's tho little mark up, positive news MOnday then well!!!!!!!!

:o))

Douggie: That T trade would explain why the price was being held back despite persistent buying on Thursday and Friday. Friday's final tally was 3,741,181 buys v 2,380,000 sells so we are still moving into positive territory. With the Bill's second reading on Monday I would expect this stock to get even more attention next week.

Identity Cards Bill
Power of Secretary of State to require registration
(1) The Secretary of State may by order impose an obligation on individuals of a description specified in the order to be entered in the Register.
(2) An order under this section may impose an obligation on individuals required to be entered in the Register to apply in accordance with section 5 to be so entered.
(3) An order which imposes an obligation to make such an application must set
out
(a) the time when the requirement to make the application arises; and
(b) the period after that time within which the application must be made.
(4) An individual who
(a) contravenes an obligation imposed on him by provision made under subsections (2) and (3), or
(b) contravenes a requirement imposed on him under section 5(4) in connection with an application made in pursuance of such an obligation, shall be liable to a civil penalty not exceeding 2,500.
(5) An individual required to be entered in the Register by virtue of this section who contravenes a requirement imposed under section 5(4) otherwise than in connection with such an application shall be liable to a civil penalty not exceeding 1,000.
(6) An individual who has contravened an obligation imposed on him by provision made under subsections (2) and (3) and on whom a penalty has been imposed under subsection (4) in respect of that contravention shall be liable to a further civil penalty not exceeding 2,500 in respect of each subsequent occasion on which
(a) a notice is given to him by the Secretary of State requiring him to make an application to be entered in the Register; and
(b) he fails to do so within the period specified in the notice.

Douggie: It's worth noting that trade across the markets was affected by triple witching in the US and double witching in London, as options, index options and futures contracts all expire simultaneously. That would have made the MMs nervous. Now that it's out of the way, they should be back to normal on Monday.

For many UK citizens the identity card will be issued as passports come up for renewal or for first time applications. The Home Office, the UKPS and other government departments will now start to lay the foundations for the scheme, which will establish a more secure means of proving people's identity. As part of this process, the UKPS will progress its major anti-fraud and secure identity initiatives including the addition of a biometric to the British Passport.

The Identity Cards Bill was introduced to Parliament on 29 November 2004.

The Bill's second reading is on 20 December 2004

.....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.
