Identity Documents Bill

Proceeding contribution from Aidan Burley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 September 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills on Identity Documents Bill.
We learned in Committee that of the 14,670 ID cards that were issued, almost 3,000 were given free of charge, so only 11,000 cards were paid for. Are the Opposition, in the second of their two options, suggesting that we maintain the card infrastructure for the next 10 years just for those 11,000 people, at a cost of £50 million to £60 million for 16 people per constituency?
