I've said it before. I do not believe that a biometric ID card can 'guarantee' identity. At best it can only form a foundation on which an identity can be built. This can only begin to happen 10 years on, after the majority of adults have a card.
Has the government considered positive benefits to the individual, such as using their ID card scheme to allow 'vagrants' (e.g. house-boat and caravan dwellers) the vote?
