Tim Ferguson writes in Silicon.com:

Meg Hillier is the new Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Identity, with responsibilities that include the identity card project, Freedom of Information requests and criminal records.

The scheme has been called “out of control” by researchers at the London School of Economics, who suggest recent changes – such as dropping the iris biometrics – have not significantly reduced costs.
