ID Cards Might Show Profit

ID Cards Might Show a Profit... for Liam Byrne, the Minister for Immigration at the Home Office. Not just a "former IT consultant", as I suggested earlier, but a major shareholder in E-Government Solutions Ltd, which provides IT solutions to the public sector and has contracts with eight police forces, according to the Mail.

"Mr Byrne founded E-Government Solutions in 2000, four years after working as a senior adviser to Mr Blair in Downing Street."

Naturally it would make sense (for him) to promote the use of smaller IT firms for the ID Card project rather than placing all the work with a mega corporation.
