The Identity and Passport Service is now starting a survey of Manchester Airport staff in order to understand employees views on the proposed CWIC application form. Volunteers are being offered £75 of our governments money to take part in the survey. Not all volunteers will be called forward for interview. It would appear that successful volunteers will be aked to go through a trial application process and give their comments.
So thats it then, the application forms have already been printed subject to tweaking and a general thumbs up from a bunch of people who are only too happy to pocket a sum of cash ten times their normal hourly rate!
Hope they declare it to HMRC.
All we have to wait for now is to be invited to "volunteer" for the real thing.
