"About 60 or so people squeezed into the conference room at the IPPR to hear the Home Office Minister of State for nationality, citizenship and immigration, Liam Byrne MP, set out the 'next steps' for the re-assessed ID card programme. He carefully explained that the 'all-new' ID card project is intended to do 4 things:- increase border security and decrease illegal immigration - increase protection for the most vulnerable - improved criminal detection rates - prevention of identity fraud and he noted his decision to seek to share existing information and datasets across government where that was appropriate."
