ID card roll-out loses impetus
Laura Smith
Doubts have surfaced over the future of the government's controversial identity card programme after it emerged that the compulsory roll-out of ID cards to British citizens might be delayed until after the next election.
A leaked document obtained by the Conservative party last month indicated that the phase relating to UK citizens would not start until 2012 A- two years later than the Home Office had planned.
ID cards will be introduced this year for some foreign nationals, possibly including students and those married to or in long-term relationships with British nationals.
The cards are also expected to be brought in from next year on a voluntary basis for some UK citizens employed in "positions of trust", such as teachers and social workers.
