The Cayman Islands' members of parliament are expected to debate legislation to enable the establishment of a national identity card system in the British Overseas Territory in December.
Acting chief officer in the Ministry of Investment, Innovation and Social Development, Tamara Ebanks, told the Public Accounts Committee last week that the ministry was on track to present the draft legislation to Parliament by the year-end target.
Ms. Ebanks gave a brief update on the progress of the national ID scheme to the members of the Public Accounts Committee, which was discussing an Office of the Auditor General's report into the government's online services.
PAC chairman Roy McTaggart, noting that while the primary legislation is a critical element in setting up a national identity system, queried if the necessary back-end for the system would be ready once the bill is passed.
