O esquema dos cartões do ID custou a mais do que o excesso de £30m o ano financeiro passado.
Durante o ano que termina 31 março, 2007, o governo gastou £30.9m no ajuste - acima do esquema nacional da identidade (NIS) - acima da despesa de £27.7m no ano precedente, de acordo com o escritório Home figura.
A despesa NIS-incorrida £30.9m era short do orçamento inicial de £55m, de acordo com a identidade do escritório Home e o serviço do Passport (os IPS) O relatório anual e esclarece o ano terminou 31 março 2007.
O relatório disse: “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.
