Met chief in new plea for ID cards
By Sophie Goodchild and Severin Carrell
17 April 2005


Britain's most senior police officer has come to the rescue of ministers embarrassed by the Kamel Bourgass case.

In an interview broadcast today, Sir Ian Blair, head of the Metropolitan police, echoes government claims that Bourgass's murder of policeman Stephen Oakes supports the need for ID cards and new conspiracy laws.

Charles Clarke was forced to apologise last week after it emerged that Bourgass, an Algerian immigrant whose asylum claim had been rejected, could have been deported before he murdered DC Oake.

In an interview on BBC1's Breakfast with Frost today, the police chief repeats the claim that "al-Qai'da affiliates are targeting Britain".

The intervention prompted a tart rejoinder from civil liberties campaigners, however. "It is time for Blair the police commissioner to create some distance from his political namesake," said Shami Chakrabarti, director of the civil rights group Liberty. "Law enforcement and other vital services must remain politically neutral - especially during an election campaign."

Sir Ian, who has made a number of controversial interventions since his appointment last November, suggested that tougher anti-terrorism powers are needed.

He called for iris-recognition technology, which scans an individual's eyes, to be developed. He claimed that it would have helped to identify Bourgass, and other terror suspects in Belmarsh.

"We're going to have to look again to see whether there is some other legislation around acts preparatory to terrorism, or something of that nature - that's what we'll have to do."

Sir Ian called for "further consideration" of the ID cards Bill which was withdrawn before the election. "I wasn't particularly keen on ID cards until recently - until I began to understand the way in which identity theft is carried out.

"The documents being produced are identical to the real documents, they're just unauthorised. "We now have the technology, through iris recognition ... that would be very helpful."

Any views on current situation on idd?,could this be a buying opportunity

After a pretty ropey few weeks up 10% today. Any news?...... or are they just looking too cheap?

Looking cheap.

Calling all idd believers,pleas help!,do you think this company will pull through or should i hang on b4 i donate my meagre 500,000to charity?

I've a few of these also - not worth me selling at the moment and looking at a 50% loss. Hopefully, their re-structuring (what was it? ...factory in Poland) will make a difference in the long term. Like to think that they are placed for recovery (but I'm an eternal optimist), but who knows, Capetown, who knows?

......and who knows what plans the government has with ID cards in the future.

May have a shutfie through the final figs again and recent RNSs and see if there's a chink of light.

Mr mole,
It was production moved to poland and i will hold for the recovery plan,as i remember buying ashtead at 12.75 and now look 88pence!!!Lets hope id cards will be introduced,i do find that lack of information on IDD MOST frustrating.

Have you looked at CBY out of interest.?

I'll check them out..thanks.

Rampage,i also saw the article in question,ever hopefull with 500,ooo shares,

HOLDING thumbs,i think make or break time,some news from IDD regarding current progress on need to raise capital would also HELP!

I thought that IDD would have had a tick up yesterday after the renewed interest of ID cards, we know that this company have been helping government enquirers on the production & cost of producing the cards, this suggests to me that IDD will get the contract or a slice of the cake. Regards goal.

Another big rise today....20%!! Still and eye watering bid/offer spread. Any news??

Up 10% yesterday 20% today on small volume, it has got to go a long way to brokers estimate of 7p. I have the faith & hold. Regards goal.

Mole & goal the 10&20% increases are easy ............;o\

it is the next 300% to get me back to where I came in that will be difficult
