These public services should also include the existing Passports and Driving Licence services. i.e. there should be no compulsion with regard to Passports or Driving Llicences unless and until both Houses of Parliament approve this measure.
Non-ID Card versions of Driving Licences and Passports should still be available untill Parliament forces Compulsion on the UK population.
Any Members of Parliament who vote for such ID Card Compulsion will be forever branded by history as police state collaborators, and should be made responsible electorally for any future abuses of the ID Card system.
