ID cards are of ‘limited value’
The BBC reports comments by the Government-appointed independent reviewer of terrorism laws:
ID cards would be of “limited value” against terror and would not have prevented the London attacks in July, says the reviewer of anti-terror laws.
Liberal Democrat peer Lord Carlile said he had changed his mind on identity cards, which he had previously backed.
“I can’t think of many terrorist incidents, in fact I can think of very few… that ID cards would have brought to an earlier end,” he told GMTV.
