From BBC Scotland:
"Labour plans 'ID cards'
Labour will introduce identity cards for all Scots should they form a government after the Scottish Parliament elections, it has emerged.
Party bosses will include plans for the so-called 'entitlement cards', which would be used for everything from renting library books to claiming benefits, in their election manifesto.
A pre-manifesto document going through the party's policy process says "we will introduce a national electronic entitlement card for all public services".
The move has been questioned by civil liberties groups, who believe it could infringe people's human rights. "
