No Guarantee for 10 Year Passports
From the "you couldn't make this up" department of NuLabour comes this following gem - via the BBC
Microchips in Britain's new ePassports only have two-year warranties, a National Audit Office report says.They are so new, no-one knows how long they will last, or how the scanners reading them will work, the NAO said.
Public Accounts Committee chairman Edward Leigh said the fact they had a two-year warranty, when passports were kept for 10 years, was "most worrying".
More evidence of "jojned up thinking" from the government of choice for the UK - my only problem is that if you elect "the other lot" - they are bound to be just as stupid and corrupt as "this lot".
Like the old saying goes: "Whoever you vote for - the government always gets in".
