£31m goß in Identifikation Karten Entwurf

Durch Gemma Simpson 

Der Identifikation Karten Entwurf hat mehr als £30m überschuß das letzte Geschäftsjahr gekostet.

Während des Jahrendes 31. März 2007, wendete die Regierung £30.9m auf dem Gründen des nationalen Identität Entwurfs (NIS) - oben von der £27.7m Aufwendung im vorhergehenden Jahr, entsprechend Hauptbüro darstellt auf.

Die £30.9m NIS-genommene Aufwendung war Kurzschluß des Ausgangsetats von £55m, entsprechend der Hauptbüro-Identität und dem Pass-Service (IPS) Jährlicher Bericht und erklärt das Jahr beendet 31. März 2007.

Der Report gesagt: “At the mid-year position this financial plan was revised due to the shift in emphasis to utilising existing public- and private-sector infrastructure to deliver the NIS, thus reducing planned procurement activity within the year.”

Last year, James Hall, chief executive of IPS, revealed the ID cards procurement timetable and said the “current best estimate” for the next ID cards procurement activity was April or May 2007.

More than 4.8 million biometric passports have also been dished out during the past financial year, with the IPS posting a deficit of £2.1m on its passport services — which is lower than the planned deficit of £15m, the report reveals.

The government estimates the ID cards scheme will cost more than £5.5bn to set up and run over the next 10 years, a figure which has been disputed by the London School of Economics, which forecasts the price could come in at almost £30bn.
