The move has been approved by Tony Blair as part of a wide-ranging review of anti-terror laws. Most of Britain's partners in the European Union require nationals to carry identity cards which must be produced on demand by police. But Mr Blair and Home Secretary David Blunkett are expected to opt instead for a voluntary scheme. However, it will be virtually impossible for anyone to live a normal life without one - possession of a valid card will be necessary for boarding an aircraft, buying petrol, opening a bank account, starting a job or claiming benefits. New laws are to be rushed through Parliament as soon as the summer recess ends next month. Mr Blair and Mr Blunkett are expected to reject the compulsory "on demand" card because of connotations with Nazi Germany, where lack of proper identity cards could result in instant arrest. Whitehall officials and MPs have also warned that relations between the police and ethnic minorities could deteriorate under a "stop-and-show" scheme. But the new ID cards will also be aimed at deterring illegal immigration by making it difficult for anybody without a proper card to carry out basic transactions. Other measures being considered include a Europe-wide common arrest warrant to cut out bureaucratic red tape. Home Office officials are also negotiating a new scheme with EU countries for speeding up extradition procedures so that suspects can be brought to justice quicker. Tougher Europewide laws on money-laundering are also being drawn up to prevent terrorists hiding funds in secret bank accounts. ------------------------ Yahoo!
