Title: ‘Sneak’ plan for mandatory ID cards
Post by: Barman on November 16, 2008, 06:43:44 AM

Quote from: Times Online

Ministers have been accused of trying to introduce compulsory identity cards through the back door, despite promises that people will not have to carry them.

Lawyers at Liberty, the civil liberties group, say that little noticed clauses in the draft immigration and citizenship bill introduce new powers to make people produce identity documents or face arrest. The bill is expected to be in the Queen’s speech next month.
