ID cards will be honeypot for fraudsters - Clegg

9.51.58pm GMT Mon 6th Nov 2006

ID Cards

Responding to Tony Blair's defence of ID Cards today, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Nick Clegg MP, has revealed examples of how government identity databases can actually help criminals.

Nick said "Tony Blair must be living in cloud-cuckoo land if he seriously believes that the creation of the world's largest identity database will be a magic cure for identity fraud.

"All the evidence from Britain and abroad shows that big government databases just become the favoured target for ever more sophisticated organised criminals."
