North East Fife SNP Speak Out Against ID Cards

Rod Campbell warns of cost implications for NE Fife.
 

“The  UK  Government’s  determination  to  force  the  people  of  Scotland  to  carry  national  identity  cards  is  not  just  an  attack  on  civil  liberties  -  it  has  huge  cost  implications  for  us  all.”  said   Rod  Campbell of  North  East  Fife  SNP.

 

“Latest  research  shows  that  the  price  of  inflicting  an  ID  card  on  everyone  in  North  East  Fife  would  be  around  £6.4  million.  The  cost  over the  Kingdom of  Fife  as  a  whole  would  be  as  high  as  £29.72  million.  ” continued Mr.Campbell.

 

“This  bombshell  has  followed  on  the  heels of  the  UK  Labour  Government’s  plans  to  slash  a  massive  £500  million  from  Scotland’s  budget  next  year.”

 

“We  need  to  be  combating  the worst  effects  of  the  current  world  economic  problems  by  maintaining  spending  on  public  services  and  bringing  forward  new  investment  in  infrastructure.  Instead  Labour  are  promising  huge  cuts  and  burdening  us all  with  the  extra costs  of  an  unwanted  and  unnecessary  ID card.” said Rod.

 

"Currently  ID  cards  are  voluntary  and  cost  £30  to  the  individual   concerned.  However,  in  2012  the  UK  Government plan  to  make  them  compulsory  and  will  give  no  guarantees  on  future  prices.”

 

Mr. Campbell  praised  the stance  of  the  Scottish  Government  against  national  identity  cards  and  urged  Labour  to  think  again.
