The government is expected to announce changes to its plans for the roll out
of national ID cards in the UK today.
According to reports the Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has hinted at a major
change to ID card provisioning, suggesting that in most cases British citizens
may not need to have the cards, and adding that they would probably be limited
to immigrants, or workers in certain areas.
Migrants coming from non-EU countries would be expected to carry cards, from
2009, as would people working in areas where high security is required, such as
airport baggage handlers. While it is expected that students will be coaxed into
carrying cards from 2010.
Biometric passports are still expected to feature in government plans.
