Os cartões de identidade nacionais serão dados aos cidadãos britânicos dois anos mais ultimamente de planeamento do que, emergiu.
Os originais escapados do escritório Home dados à mostra dos conservadores o rollout de planeamento de cartões do ID aos cidadãos britânicos foram atrasados até 2010.
Era originalmente cidadãos britânicos de planeamento deve ser dado cartões do ID de 2010, com assunto dos nationals extrangeiros à legislação mais tarde este ano.
A secretária home David Davis da sombra disse atrasa mostrou que o esquema de planeamento do cartão do ID estava “na divisão intensive do cuidado”.
Gordon Brown is reportedly less enthusiastic about ID cards than his predecessor Tony Blair, who promised to include legislation for compulsory ID cards in Labour’s next election manifesto.
Earlier this month, Mr Brown appeared to show more tentative support for compulsory ID cards, describing it as simply “an option” and pointing out it would be subject to further parliamentary approval.
It is thought the delay has also been prompted by security concerns as ministers grapple with the logistics of gathering and safely storing vast amounts of data.
Shadow immigration minister Damian Green told the BBC: “It’s clear that there are enormous practical difficulties in putting 50 different pieces of personal information including addresses of 60 million British citizens plus lots of foreigners into a single database.
“I think the reality is just beginning to bite ministers on this, so this delay is the first sign of reality intruding, let’s hope there are more to come.”
The leaked Home Office documents show Borders Phase 1, where ID cards will be rolled out to foreign nationals, is set to begin this year. From 2009 cards will also be issued to people “in positions of trust”.
But Borders Phase 2, when the cards will be introduced to all British Citizens, is schedule to begin in 2012, two years later than previously thought.
An Identity and Passport Service spokesman said: “We have always said that the sheme will be rolled out incrementally.”
But Mr Davis said the delay was intended to stop ID cards becoming an issue at the next election, planned for 2009 or 2010.
