The Home Office Minister, Andy Burnham, said a "chip and pin" style code number could be used to verify cardholders' identities in some cases, rather than fingerprints, face and iris scans which will be encoded in the card.

 'RFID tag' - the rude words ID card ministers won't say
For over six months now Burnham, pursued doggedly by MP and ID card opponent Lynne Jones, has been peddling the bizarre conceit that RFID and 'contactless' or 'proximity' chips are entirely different beasts.
Jones played this with a dead bat and returned in January: "There are no plans to use radio frequency identification tags," Burnham told her.
Burnham's bobbing and weaving over RFID has certainly helped him avoid getting to the whole truth about contactless (if you like, Andy...) chips in passports and ID cards.

So; the meeting was hosted by Baroness Anelay, and the two main protagonists were Andy Burnham, MP (Parliamentary Undersecretary of State at the Home Office) and Simon Davies of the LSE.
Messrs Davies and Burnham have squared up to each other before, either in print (Simon was intimately associated with the London School of Economics' report in the ID Cards Bill) or in person --- they had in fact had a similar debate the evening before this discussion.
It was unfortunate, Mr Burnham said, if the Bill had given rise to the impression that the NIR would store entitlement- or attribute-level data about the user; indeed, Data Protection principles would probably prohibit this.
