Cabinet

Asked what was discussed in Cabinet the PMOS said that there was a presentation by Dr John Reid on ID cards, which was part of series of selected subjects for Cabinet and an overview of those. What was stressed was, in terms of the modern world, the need to prove and protect your identity had becomes an ever-greater reality. We were increasingly being asked to prove our identity but also wanted to protect ourselves and our identities. Worldwide more and more countries were adopting biometric passports and demanding from those who wanted to visit those countries to have biometric passports as well. Asked by the Chairman of the Lobby if it was still the Government’s intention to force foreign nationals living in the UK to carry the ID cards first as a pilot scheme the PMOS replied that we believed that people like him had to be kept an eye on.
