Home Department written question – answered at on 23 February 2009.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps she plans to take to encourage the voluntary uptake of identity cards by British nationals in pilot areas.
It was announced in November that we wanted to find a way to give members of the public who already see the benefits of ID cards a chance to get one this year.
The Identity and Passport Service have been working hard to make this happen and will launch a website on DirectGov in the next few months. The site will give the public a wealth of information about how to best prove and protect their identity, as well as keeping people updated about how they can apply for an identity card.
Further work to publicise identity cards is being planned.
