25 September 2008
The first UK Identity Card was unveiled today by the Home Secretary.
Building on the Government's commitment to begin issuing the first ID cards to foreign nationals from November 2008, the card's design was revealed for the first time.
The new credit-card sized document will show the holder's photograph, name, date of birth, nationality and immigration status. A secure electronic chip will also hold their biometric details, including fingerprints, and a digital facial image.
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said:

"Today shows we are delivering on our commitment to introduce the National Identity Scheme in order that we can enjoy its benefits as quickly as possible.
"ID cards will help protect against identity fraud, illegal working, reduce the use of multiple identities in organised crime and terrorism, crack down on those trying to abuse positions of trust and make it easier for people to prove they are who they say they are.
"ID cards for foreign nationals will replace old-fashioned paper documents, make it easier for employers and sponsors to check entitlement to work and study, and for the UK Border Agency to verify someone's identity. This will provide identity protection to the many here legally who contribute to the prosperity of the UK, while helping prevent abuse."

Compulsory identity cards for foreign nationals will kick start the National Identity Scheme, with the first applicants having to apply for cards from 25 November.
Within three years all foreign nationals applying for leave to enter or remain in the UK will be required to have a card, with around 90 per cent of foreign nationals in Britain covered by the scheme by 2014/15.
To ensure the benefits of the programme are felt from the start, the UK Border Agency will start with categories that have been targeted by those wanting to abuse our immigration system, including students and people seeking leave to remain on the basis of marriage.
The introduction of the first card supports the Government's tough new Australian-style Points Based System for managed migration. To earn and retain their licence as a sponsor businesses and education providers must keep records of the migrants they have sponsored including, in time, a copy of a migrant's identity card. Businesses found employing illegal workers face fines of up to £10,000 per person.
The introduction of cards for foreign nationals will be followed by the first ID cards for British citizens, targeting workers in sensitive roles and locations like airports from 2009. Then from 2010 ID cards will be available to young people who want them and from 2011/12 cards will be available to the general population.
The introduction of ID cards will provide a convenient and secure means to protect identity by locking it to one person using their fingerprints.
Tom Hadley, Director of External Relations of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), said:

"Recruitment professionals in the front-line of the UK labour market play an increasingly pivotal role in checking the identity, background and status of individual job seekers.
"Within this context measures to simplify the checking requirements can be welcomed and must be backed with an extensive communication programme. Recruiters take their responsibilities to verify an individual's right to work in the UK extremely seriously and support initiatives to enhance safe and ethical recruitment."

Julian Gravatt, Association of Colleges' Director of Funding and Development, said:

"Issuing ID cards to overseas students should assist in the reduction of identity fraud.
"Colleges welcome any measure which facilitates the recruitment of genuine students to study in the UK and the economic benefits this brings."

Tim Cowen, Director of Communications for NCP Services, said:

"This is good news for employers, and a credit to the work the UKBA has done to help make the hiring of migrant workers more streamlined for UK organisations.
"Employers will, quite rightly, still need to make sure their systems for spotting forgeries are robust, but the biometric cards will cut down on fraud and make it easier for us to do this.
"Crucially, it will also help those who genuinely have the right to work in the UK get employment quickly - since it will be easier to check their identity and get them working."

This builds on the successful delivery of other work to ensure the integrity of our borders. So far:

• 2.8 million visa applicants have been fingerprinted;
• 3,500 cases of identity swap in the UK have been identiifed and dealt with; and
• over 12.5 million biometric e-passports have been issued in the past two years.

有同感...
但我看就算实行了这对策，一定有什么又要改的了...
搞不好以后所有英国外来者即使本身拥有签证，
但还必须随身携带三五张卡来证明自己的immigration status及来自什么国家等等的呢... （我猜猜而已）

Tough new rules to safeguard the visitor route into the United Kingdom from abuse and keep Britain an attractive place to do business were published by the Government today.
Under strict new rules those wishing to come to the United Kingdom on business for up to six months must apply for a dedicated new business visa and prove they will be carrying out the following activities:

• attending meetings or conferences;
• arranging deals, negotiating or signing trade agreement or contracts;
• undertaking fact-finding missions, checking details or goods; and
• conducting site visits and promotional activities.

In June new visa routes for business, tourist and family visitors were announced in a shake-up of Britain's short-term visa system. The Statement of Intent published today sets out in more detail how the new business visa will work.
Border and Immigration Minister Phil Woolas said:

'Now we are introducing an Australian-style points system for selective migration, it makes sense to tighten visit visas at the same time.

These changes will help create a fairer Britain with fair treatment for those who play by the rules, but tough action against those who break the law.

We want the United Kingdom to stay open and attractive to both business and visitors. At the same time we are determined to deliver a system of border security which is among the most secure in the world.'
Also today, the Home Office set out further detail on two new visitor routes for sportspeople and entertainers, recognising the important contribution these individuals make to British cultural life. These new routes mean that an historical concession which allowed sportspeople and entertainers to come here for a short time without a work permit to take part in certain events will be retained.
Under these new routes the following people will now be able to enter the United Kingdom using a dedicated new visa:

• sportspeople and support staff coming for specific events, such as Wimbledon;
• amateur sportspeople joining United Kingdom amateur teams for up to six months;
• professional entertainers coming to the United Kingdom to take part in music competitions;
• amateur entertainers travelling to the United Kingdom for a specific engagement;
• professional entertainers coming to take part in a charity show or where they will receive no fee; and
• professional and amateur entertainers taking part in a 'permit-free festival' such as the Edinburgh Festival.

All of the changes set out in the document published today will sit alongside the Points Based System, which replaces around eighty different work permit routes with just five tiers.
Those travelling into the United Kingdom are locked into one identity through the introduction of fingerprinting for all visa applicants, a new hi-tech system for counting people in and out of the country and the rollout of ID cards for all foreign nationals.
都没人回复了..沉底了..沉底了..

英拟收紧移民政策 防失业率飙升
（伦敦19日综合电）英国《泰晤士报》报导，边境及入境事务国务部长伍勒斯周六表示，在金融海啸下，英国有必要收紧移民政策，以防止失业率进一步上升之际激化种族紧张关系。伍勒斯说：“如果人们失业，移民问题将变得极为棘手。” 英国刚在今年实施了澳洲式的移民评分制度，以吸引欧盟以外的技术专才移民英国。但随着经济转差，伍勒斯指出过去移民英国“太容易”了，提出有必要将英国人口限制于7000万人。据英国国家统计局数据，英国人口在2001年至2007年间增加了200万人，达到6097万人。 不过亦有人担心，经济衰退将会引发种族歧视问题，官员的发言可能会挑起国民对移民的仇恨。
