(1) Take no part in any pilot scheme or feasibility work in relation to the introduction of National Identity Cards.
(2) Ensure that National Identity Cards will not be required to access Council services or benefits unless specifically required to do so by an Act of Parliament.
(3) Only co-operate with the National Identity Card scheme where to do so would otherwise be unlawful.

In addition, the planned cards would be "a very, very attractive proposition for criminals" and that theft of cards or database errors could cause problems like people being denied access to public services.
