Plans to scrap ID cards revealed
Updated on 27 May 2010
Home Secretary Theresa May is to set out further details of the Government's plans to scrap the £5 billion ID cards scheme.
The Home Office is publishing the Identity Documents Bill - announced in the Queen's speech on Tuesday - which will abolish identity cards and destroy all personal information gathered for the National Identity Register.
Getting rid of the ID card system, introduced under Labour, was a manifesto pledge of both the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats.
