Dundee Liberal Democrats have expressed concern at news that the Government has already spent £32m preparing for its ID card scheme even before it becomes law.
That means spending rose from £25,000 to £63,000 a day in the last six months of 2005, the Home Office said. The figure follows questions from the Liberal Democrats.
Locally, LibDem City Council Group Leader, Cllr Fraser Macpherson, said, "What a truly terrible waste of public money. It is all the worse that the government has spent this significant sum without parliamentary approval. The whole ID cards project is fatally flawed."
