А вы ссылку-то прочитали? ;) Это же панихида по картам.

R.I.P the National Identity Card for the UK, ditched by the new government because of concerns about civil liberties. John Kirby - one of 15,000 people who took up the card - says he will miss this simple form of ID.

Британское правительство хотело ввести обязательные карты, да еще и с обязательной биометрией, но граждане не захотели (!), поэтому проект пришлось свернуть, а карты - отменить, включая аннулирование уже выданных.

The UK National Identity Card and the Identification Card for EEA (European economic area) nationals ceased to be valid legal documents on 21 January 2011.

Cancellation of identity cards

The government began the process of scrapping identity cards by introducing the Identity Documents Bill to Parliament on 26 May 2010. The bill made provision for the cancellation of the UK National Identity Card, the Identification Card for EEA nationals and the destruction of the National Identity Register. This bill has completed the parliamentary process and the Identity Documents Act 2010 received Royal Assent on 21 December 2010.
