These amendments would make registration and the issue of identity cards an optional extra to anyone applying for a designated document - for example a British passport
So far so good. What I'm still concerned about is whether there is anything in place to prevent ID cards becoming compulsory in practice by stealth. If there is no provision making it illigal to require ID cards in everyday life, then I'm afraid they will become a de facto standard with no appeal.
