FOREIGN companies are lined up for a multi-billion pound bonanza
introducing the Government's controversial identity card scheme, with
no large British company likely to be involved in leading the project.
Despite frantic lobbying to win some of the business - worth up to £3bn
- involved in developing, making and administering the card scheme,
foreign multinationals are in pole position to pick up the bulk of the
orders, leaving British firms fighting for scraps as junior partners in
foreign-led consortia likely to tender for the work.
