ID Cards Information Evening

No2ID Cambridge | 23.03.2006 16:11 | Technology | Cambridge

In Cambridge, the Libra Aries bookshop is holding a NO2ID information evening on Wednesday 29th March. Feel free to drop in any time between 6:30pm & 8pm to chat to NO2ID activists, get more details on what the government proposes and how we're opposing it, and pick up literature, car stickers and badges. All welcome.

The Identity Cards Bill continues to bounce back and forth between the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The ball's currently in the House of Lords' court; amendments to make ID Cards voluntary will once again be debated there on 28th March.

If you haven't yet written to a peer or two to encourage them to oppose ID Card compulsion, my web page telling you how is still available here:

With some encouragement, there's a chance that the House of Lords may be able to keep up their resistance until September. If so, the government would be forced to use the Parliament act to get the Bill through, something which would cause so much adverse publicity that they may be reluctant to do it.
