The CBI back Shiteye's ID Card scheme even though they are concerned about the details of the scheme.

CBI deputy director-general John Cridland said it shared government concern that having no way to prove identity made the UK more vulnerable to criminals and terrorists. He said: "ID cards could improve security and make access to public services more efficient."

How?

Firms wanted to know they would not be penalised if they relied on data which turned out to be wrong, the CBI said.

So basically, if ID Cards turn out not to correctly identify someone, they don't want it to be businesses fault. Of course, the best way to ensure this would be not to have ID Cards. And would the national ID Card mean that any company that has it's own ID Cards will chuck them away? If a company is so concerned about ID it will have it's own cards, if it doesn't have it's own cards then why would it support a compulsory ID card as it obviously doesn't think they are important enough to need?
