ID card information 'will be stored securely'
Feb 26 2010, 13:34 PM
Independent Identity Commissioner Sir Joseph Pilling - the man in charge of overseeing the UK's ID card scheme - said all data will be stored securely.
He claimed he would not hesitate to contact the Home Secretary immediately if he had any concerns over the National Identity Service scheme, the BBC reports.
Sir Joseph said that after three months of "trying to understand an ambitious and complicated programme of work", it would be foolish to give it a complete bill of health.
However, he added: "I'm pleased with the commitment and dedication to producing a safe and secure ID card programme that the members of Identity and Passport Service have shown."
In related news, it was recently announced that an ID card scheme is to be rolled out across Ireland.
The Irish Times reported in December that the government is to spend €25 million (£22 million) on the initiative, which will see three million people provided with cards.
