Rejected petition Introduce National Biometric Identity Cards.

A National Biometric ID card for all Citizens of the UK, and those who are legally entitled to reside and work or study in this country should be introduced as soon as possible. Only those with something to hide would object to this. This would ensure people were in and working here legally.
