L'arrangement de cartes d'identification a coûté à plus que l'excédent de £30m le dernier exercice.
Pendant la fin le 31 mars 2007 d'année, le gouvernement a dépensé £30.9m sur installer l'arrangement national d'identité (NIS) - vers le haut de la dépense de £27.7m par année précédente, selon l'Office à la maison figure.
La dépense NIS-encourue par £30.9m était short du budget initial de £55m, selon le service à la maison d'identité et de passeport d'Office (les IPS) Le rapport annuel et explique l'année finie le 31 mars 2007.
Le rapport a indiqué : “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.
