"Ryan supports Liam Bryne, MP - the minister overseeing ID cards programme in the Home Office. Building a safe, just and tolerant society - We’ve spent a long time setting out the case for a biometric identity cards scheme. Debate on this started in 2002 and the reasons and goals for the proposed scheme were rigorously scrutinised as the legislation made its passage through parliament. I am not here today to make the case for a joined up, secure identity management scheme - that case has already been made. What I am here to talk about is how we intend to deliver it. We have to be clear how we are managing the risks around delivery of this scheme and how we can ensure that we do it in a way that is cost-effective, makes best use of resources and maintains public trust. Finally, while concentrating on delivery, we need to have an eye for the future - to understand the potential benefits of this scheme and how we as individuals might use it."
