Academics at the London
School of Economics have warned that the cost of an ID card is likely to be
around £300, and could soar to as much as £500.
This compares to the figure of £93 given by the
Home Office last
month.
The LSE team is in the process of writing a new report, but said that the
overall cost of implementation could rise to a staggering £19bn. This compares
to the government's figure of £5.8bn.
This increase is due to the cost of integrating the card with other
government computers, according to the LSE, such as those at the Home Office and
Department of Work and
Pensions, and in the NHS where the card is
likely to be used to check eligibility.
