The Home Secretary Jacqui Smith came to Demos to deliver a speech about personal information and identity cards.
In the speech, she outlined the government's plans for a national identity register and announced a new timetable to roll out a national ID card scheme. She also sought to allay fears about data security, pointing to the success of the government's e-passport scheme.
She acknowledged the role of Demos' recent work on identity and privacy in shaping the government's thinking in this area. Demos' December report, FYI, gained national attention when it called for a new debate about the politics of personal information.
