"The new Identity and Passport Service has published a 10-year plan aimed at tackling identity fraud and boosting personal identity security. The IPS was created on April 1, after the Identity Cards Bill received its royal assent.
It brings together the UK Passport Service and the identity cards programme which has been based in the Home Office.
It will continue to be responsible for issuing passports and will issue ID cards from 2008/09."
