HAC ID Cards oral evidence sessions 3rd & 10th Feb 2004
The next Home Affairs Committee oral evidence sessions on ID Cards have been announced for the 3rd and 10th of February 2004.
Will the Home Affairs Committee call anyone from the Office of the e-Envoy/e-Government to determine the impact of Biometric ID Cards on e-government services ?
How about someone from the Office of Government Commerce which is meant to have done at least two Pre Stage Zero and a Stage Zero Gateway Review by the end of January of the ID Cards project, examining the high level costs and project management assumptions.
What about witnesses from the UK Biometric Working Group, or CESG, the UK Government's own experts on Biometrics ?
Will these people be called before the Draft ID Cards Bill is actually published, or afterwards ?
