vicky-27 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Manchester will be the first city where people can voluntarily sign up for an ID card, ministers are set to confirm. Anyone over 16 in the city who holds a UK passport will be able to apply for a card from the autumn at a cost of £60. People will be able to enrol in post offices and pharmacies, Home Secretary Jacqui Smith is expected to say. The Home Office: "ID cards will reduce fraud - thus saving money - and are vital to combating terrorism and organised crime". Ms Smith will say post offices and pharmacies can play an important role in the success of the ID scheme, allowing people to give their fingerprints and a face scan while "out doing the shopping". Government officials will seek to allay people's concerns about the amount of personal data to be collected and retained for the new cards, saying it will be no greater than for passports" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
