Shadow immigration minister Damian Green has slammed the Government’s announcement that ID cards will be launched in Manchester at the end of the month.

The Tory MP for Ashford stressed that there are no benefits to the card and that a Conservative Government would scrap them if voted in next year.

He said: “The Government shouldn’t hoodwink anyone in Manchester that there are benefits to this card.

“I would advise anyone in Manchester not to bother wasting £30 on an identity card as a Conservative government would scrap this expensive, intrusive and unworkable scheme.”
