Yes of course we need ID cards ! I want to know what you are doing !!

Brown 'still supports ID cards'

Identity cards are opposed by the Tories and Lib Dems

Gordon Brown has not changed his mind on identity cards despite speculation he is preparing for a U-turn, a home office minister has told the BBC.

Meg Hillier said the PM had "made it very clear" he supported the scheme.

Tory leader David Cameron has written to Mr Brown asking for clarification after a Commons clash over whether he wants them to be compulsory or not.

Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said he believed there had been a "significant shift" in the government's position.

The row was ignited by an interview Mr Brown gave to a Sunday newspaper in which he said: "Under our proposals there is no compulsion for existing British citizens".
