Europe mid 20th century?

English people don't need to apply for a Visa to live here so how is this relevant to us?
Each person is allocated an NI number so they could take fingerprints at that point before the NI number is issued. No benefits without NI number and hence no need for UK ID card. Simple and cheap.
