Innenminister Charles Clarke bei der Einführung des biometrischen
Personalausweises auf der Insel mit 30 Pfund (umgerechnet 44 Euro) pro
Kopf zur Kasse gebeten. Die ID-Card soll zehn Jahre gültig sein und ist
mit einem Chip versehen, auf dem digitalisierte Informationen zu
individuellen Körpermerkmalen (Gesicht, Fingerabdrücke, Iris) der
Ausweisinhaber abgelegt werden können. Die ID-Card-Einführung in
Großbritannien ist für das Jahr 2008 geplant. Ein Paket aus ID-Card und
biometrischem Reisepass werde nach jetziger Einschätzung 93 Pfund (143
