Protesters hold anti-ID events

AN organisation opposed to the introduction of identity cards is to hold information sessions at the Scottish Parliament.

The NO2ID campaign will hold two events at Holyrood on April 17 for MSPs and parliamentary researchers in a bid to highlight similarities between entitlement cards in Scotland and the thinking behind ID cards.

A spokesman for the campaign said: "The information sessions will highlight extensive similarities between the current implementation of the Scottish Entitlement Card Scheme and the proposed UK identity scheme."
