Is the commission examining the use of the chip, given that no State bodies seem to be able to use it? To paraphrase Ms Dixon, it is unnecessary for the card to have a chip if no one uses it, and she is against collecting unnecessary information or data. Is the chip an unnecessary component, given that nobody seems to have a plan to use it? We were told years ago the intention was to futureproof the card but there is no sign of that proof being required, or is there? Is the commission dealing with that issue?
