Bracknell Forest "has been one of the leaders in developing smart cards for
council services, and is the lead authority in the National Smart Card
Project".
I went to a seminar a couple of years ago at Novotel in Hammersmith - in
fact, I think I had just been to a workshop on FoI - and Paul Bettison, the
leader of the council gave a presentation. I think he has an IT or certainly
a project background at British Airways, if I remember correctly.
