Labour warned not to sign long-term contracts re: ID Cards
The Government has been urged to ensure that taxpayers are not left with a huge bill if Labour loses the next election and identity cards are scrapped.
David Davis, the Shadow Home Secretary, wrote to the Cabinet Secretary that he was putting him “formally on notice” of the Conservative plan to drop the project, and also warned the companies involved. Ministers have suggested that the scheme, whose introduction begins this year, will cost £5.4 billion over ten years and are signing contracts with companies supplying the technology.

Dear Labour, please drop the ID cards or I will be forced to vote Tory next election.
