Identity cards to go; school finger-printing next?

Identity cards were officially scrapped on Tuesday 21 December when the Identity Documents Bill was granted Royal Assent. Liberal Democrats have consistently campaigned against ID cards, a scheme introduced by the previous Labour Government. All existing ID cards will be cancelled within one month, and the National Identity Register will be destroyed within two months. The move has saved £845m in planned future investment over the next ten years.

But what about the various finger-printing systems ushered in by schools to help them go cash-less for school meals or card-less for borrowing from the school library? They're still alive and well here in Central Bedfordshire, much to my chagrin.

When will they go? Indeed, how many other schools have introduced ID systems for our minors and when will they be outlawed?
