How far do the delegates think the system will be extended? I know that they have talked about some people volunteering to use their public services car with electricity and other companies. It is a grey area. The company could then state it was seeking a form of identification and that it required the public services card because it was the best form identification there was. Things would start to go askew. Therefore, people are hugely concerned. I have received many calls in the past couple of weeks since this issue began to seep into the public arena and people are saying they will not accept the public services card. Do I legally have to get one?
