A "small army" of officials and consultants working on identity card plans has been recruited by the Home Office before Parliament has approved the project.

Figures show that the team developing the scheme now has more than 80 staff – 39 civil servants, three people on secondment and 40 consultants from PA Consulting, the Government's private sector "partner".

Someone remind me again, are we living in Britain or the Soviet Union? Democracy seems to have died fully under this Blair dictatorship.

Quote:

Despite such uncertainty around £9 million has been spent on the early stages of the project, according to Charles Clarke, the Home Secretary. In all the ID scheme is expected to cost £5 billion or more to develop.

9 million and parliament hasn't even passed them yet. Hello Britain, are you awake, hello!!!!!
