almost every government department will be forced to introduce new computer systems to make them compatible with the new ID card software, effectively adding between £5 billion and £10 billion to the bill. The biggest departments affected will be the Home Office, the Department for Work and Pensions and the health and education departments. If accurate, the new costings will cause concern at the Treasury where Gordon Brown, the chancellor, reportedly has plans to ditch the scheme.
I do hope so ...
