Not perhaps the fault of elected government, but it doesn't reflect well on the system required for ID card policies to be established fully, which would be rather more extensive with a greater risk for (damaging) mistakes.

Sounds like a problem with the civil service and at the junior end of the scale.
Procedures for transferring data should be more stringent. If it was on CDs couldn't they have just used a secure WAN connection or if it was that important and had to travel then armoured car (after all it has the bank account details for upto 7 million people).
Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

Quite, I don't see how changing the govt would make any difference whatsoever here - it's a desk-jockey who wasn't working to procedure. I can't really see anyone going to work and thinking "Hmm, goodie, we have a Tory administration, I'll stop being lazy and start following my job description now..."
So, IA, as far as "It's all Brown's fault" goes, then I say b****x! But when it comes to the initial title - I quite agree it's a terrible portent for ID cards (yippee)
But I'm sure glad I'm not on those discs, and fingers crossed for those who are...

Re: Is this the end for ID cards?
Well:
1) Brown is a notorious control freak.
2) The Tories are against ID cards anyway.

His fingerprints are all over it. He was the man who merged the two departments for efficiency. This isn't the first time this has happened, in fact it's the fourth.So, IA, as far as "It's all Brown's fault" goes, then I say b****x!

It seems the hallmark of Mc Broons' administration is incompetence and deception. What was he doing for 10 years? He doesn't seem to have a clue what's going on or what to do.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

Re: Is this the end for ID cards?
I don't see much of an argument here, beyond "It's quite typical of Brown that this should happen under him". Was this error due to strains brought on by merging the departments? Was it down to anything else that the elected government has done?
IA, if it rained continuously for the next 3 months you'd blame Brown for causing the bad weather.
