Airport ID cards trials axed
02.07.09
Controversial plans for compulsory identity cards - which were due to be trialled by staff at Manchester and London City Airport - have been dropped. Airside workers and pilots at the two airport were to be the first to be issued with the cards later this year.
The cards were then due to be rolled out across the country by 2012. However, on Tuesday afternoon, the new Home Secretary Alan Johnson said changes in the plans meant the airport trial would not got ahead. He said that while ID cards would still be brought in, they should be ‘a personal choice for British citizens’.
