What ID Cards

I am trying to remember when Parliament passed legislation to introduce Identity Cards and authorise such a massive public expenditure that the next government is likely to scrap.
While I am in favour of heavy security among airport workers and those that need to access airports, I do not see any requirement for this with aircrew who should at all times have a passport in their possession and who should also be listed on, and can be checked against, flight schedules lists.
Certainly all immigrants, legal and illegal, should be required to carry a checkable ID card until such time as they become established and integrated members of the community whose identity can easily be established if required.
