The proposed information on the cards were your photo and your date of birth. That is less information that is on a Driving Licence. What was supposed to happen though, was a link to more information on a "protected" database, run by a private company. That's what made a lot of people object to them.
And having to pay for them of course. The Passport fee increased to cover the cost of issuing one at the same time. When the ID card scheme was scrapped, the fee didn't go down (of course).
