UK ID cards plan faces increased hostility
Sarah Arnott writes on vnunet.com:
The government's plans for national identity cards are facing a series of setbacks after the legislation was reintroduced to parliament last week.
Experts at the London School of Economics (LSE) say costs could rise as high as £300 per person, on top of infrastructure costs of £18bn, according to a report seen by The Observer.
The government rejects the LSE's estimates, due to be published shortly, and says the scheme will cost £5.8bn for the central database and infrastructure and £93 to each cardholder.
