Civil servants first Britons to get ID cards 2


The Independent reports:

Phil Woolas, the Immigration minister, faced ridicule last night after announcing that his own civil servants would be the first Britons to be issued with identity cards. He told MPs that applications for the £30 cards could be made by UK nationals from next Tuesday.

Mr Woolas added: “This will apply to people working in the Home Office, the passport service and elsewhere, who are engaged on work relating to the issue of identity cards.”

The written ministerial statement in question can be found here.
