    UK Government to Force Youths to Buy National ID Card to Apply for Student Loans

    Students will be "blackmailed" into holding identity cards in order to apply for student loans, the Tories have warned. According to Home Office documents leaked to the Conservative party last night, those applying for student loans will be forced to hold identity cards to get the funding from 2010. Anyone aged 16 or over will be expected to obtain a card - costing up to £100 - to open a bank account or apply for a student loan.

    No student loan without ID card, says government, Guardian Unlimited, January 24, 2008.
