A Peel commissioner says he’ll present a petition for redress of grievance next Tynwald Day unless the government starts discussing ID cards.
Rodger Gimbert says his fears about data privacy were first raised when his children were asked to give fingerprints to use their school library.
But he says now the UK has announced biometric cards will be in use by 2010, the Isle of Man needs to know whether it’s affected.
Mr Gimbert says it’s not good enough to simply let the UK decide such an important issue without debate here:
Drug trafficker jailed for 12 years
Teachers will be paid for snow day
Minimum Wage: Details of business support to be unveiled in Tynwald
Man who strangled and abused ex-partner jailed
Salvation Army received over 1,800 referrals for help over Christmas
