MP condemns Blunkett's ID card job
David Howarth, MP for Cambridge, has condemned David Blunkett's new job with a foreign company looking for ID card contracts.
When Home Secretary, Mr Blunkett pushed the controversial identity cards policy through cabinet against stiff opposition. He recently became an employee of a US company working on Spain's national identity card system.
David Howarth said:

"It is extraordinary that David Blunkett has chosen to take a job with Entrust."
Andrew Watson, local coordinator for the NO2ID campaign, said:
"Under Mr Blunkett's scheme the UK could spend up to £20bn on ID Cards. Now he's earning money from selling ID card technology. Surely even he can see this isn't acceptable behaviour?"
