And I'm sure that the ICAO rules require a digitized photo stored on a chip in the passport (presumably digitally signed). Surely this doesn't need the biometric centres and equipment the government claims. All it needs is some new equipment to make passports and some scanners to scan the picture. Of course, it doesn't stop ministers misleading the house and the public over this. Didn’t the EU just say that biometrics aren’t sufficiently proven for large scale projects?
