ID cards plans pass first hurdle. MPs voted by 385 votes to 93 in favour of the scheme. It would cost an estimated 415m a year to run a biometric passport scheme - and another 85m for ID cards.

Neil Fisher, director of security solutions at technology group QinetiQ, told reporters the rationale of the Home Office for implementing the scheme - to deter illegal working and tackle immigration abuse, and strengthen the country's security - was in his view all wrong. Rather, it was a "golden opportunity" for Britain to set a new standard in our digital era, he said.

Professor John McDermid, from the University of York's computing department, said there were positive aspects to the scheme. "There are many instances where I would find an ID card useful," said the professor. He argued that vital questions still needed to be addressed - such as whether the government could deliver within a reasonable timescale, what the detailed technological requirements were, and whether the system could really meet the government's objectives.

Well the MPs have done their bit; now lets see how the market reacts tomorrow.

From IDD 02/12/04: 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.

Its been passed...

Ive joined the party, this morning at 8.07 lets see how the market reacts to this, which is fantastic news for IDD, and can only show the company to be placed in a very good position.

IDD have been busy behind the scenes and hopefuly all that hard work will now finally payoff.

grandadg90: Looks as though others are following you in. Good luck!

welcome to all new holders be prosperous :o)

???????????? some trades @ 3.50p are shown Black others RED ?????????????????

Dont watch the trades Douggie. They never tell you the complete picture.

Grevis2 Thanks for the welcome.

grandadg90: You're welcome. Would have liked more volume today but then it's Xmas afterall. Good luck!

A bit of a damp squid at the end. Buys and sells closely matched. MMs seemed happy with that as the price remained stable for most of the day. It's perhaps too close to Xmas to get much more action.

So a poor day for idd,considering the first motion was passed through.If it had been passed with a bigger majority and less whinging things would have been a lot better today!
I think next year will be a very volatile time for them,in that the national id scheme will govern the share price rather than the work they already undertake!Don't get me wrong I hope they do well,been holding for at least a year,but the media coverage on id cards will dictate the share price for good or bad..imho

reading it back....a bit obvious really-lol

grevis2
Don't think christmas has much to do with it,if a good bet is on the cards people will buy and not sell.Maybe the small trader(like myself) would sell, and maybe get in later with more positive news?Like i was saying this time yesterday it's still a long haul for idd to get anything poitive from the id card scheme but imho it's still worth a gamble.What they need is a contract for however much a part,if any,that they will play in the scheme,then things will change for better or worse!!!

Oh well....:-/

Yesterday not all the sell were sells and also some of the unknown transactions were buys, but putting that aside this share will liven up after the christmas period. Wait for the end of January and you will all see a different picture.

Happy Christmas everybody :o))))))

Merry Cristmas Douggie.

All the best Douggie
