Lib Dems to Try and Scupper ID Card Scheme

According to the Scotsman the Liberal Democrats will aim to defeat HMG’s plans for ID cards. Home Affairs spokesman Mark Oaten said that it would be his “main priority�? in the run-up to the General Election. He called it "illiberal" and that "it attacks the civil liberties we stand for"

He also comments on the estimated £3 billion cost of the plan and can’t wait to get his teeth into it.

More power to him….
