U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair, seeking to promote the nation's 5.4 billion ($10 billion) pound program to introduce identity cards, said new biometric data collected for the cards will help fight terrorism. Blair used his monthly news conference to explain say ID cards will help counter the cost of identity fraud, which the government estimates costs 1.7 billion pounds a year. ``People say it is an argument about civil liberties, but this is an argument about modernity,'' Blair said at his office in London today. ``We have a modern world that has new and different types of crime. If we do not use new technology to tackle it we will not be able to tackle it properly.'' The U.K. government has faced opposition to the program from civil liberties groups and the Conservative Party, which say the program will be costly and unworkable. A London School of Economics report last year said the cost would be between 10.6 billion pounds and 19.3 billion pounds.
