Molly Scott-Cato was a local Green that joined the recent debates - see here - and see reports of the Convention on Modern Liberty soon to be uploaded here:

GCHQ expert dismisses ID cards 'bunkum' - The Independent 29/10/08 +*
Claims that ID cards will help the fight against terrorism have been

linked to GCHQ. Ministers faced embarrassment after Harvey Mattinson, a
senior consultant at the information security arm of the intelligence
listening station, spoke out at a technology conference.
