According to the IPS website there are currently three types of card: an identity card for British citizens (lilac and salmon in colour), an identification card for EU or EEA citizens living in the UK (turquoise and green) and the identity card for foreign nationals.
The UK Identity card “can be used for travel within the EU/EEA and Switzerland”. However, in certain circumstances, e.g. football hooligans, travel is not permitted and their passport is revoked. Does this mean that these people will also have their identity card (and all the benefits it provides) revoked?
Or will they be issued with a UK identity card with “Not valid for travel” stamped all over it, allowing everyone who sees it to guess if the holder is a convicted football hooligan or has committed some other offence that prevents them from travelling?
