What does the National IDCard scheme involve?
 
There will be a
national database
holding all theinformation people give them.
 
There will be
ID cards
in some form.
 
If you
change your details
(for example your addressor name) you have to let them know, and
you couldbe fined
if you don’t.
 
Mostly,
you have to agree
to let someone get yourdetails from the database (for example youremployer).
 
However, whether you agee or not,
the Police andother Intelligence services can get your details
fromthe database.
 
There will be a
National Identity Card Commissioner
 who you can complain to, and who is responsible forkeeping your details safe.
 
It will be
illegal to have fake ID
, or
tamper
with thedatabase. It is perfectly legal not to apply for an IDcard.
 
They will
cost you money
(up to £30 for the first card).
