Tories pledge cyber crime centre if elected

David Cameron is pushing the campaign trail further by announcing new plans to defend the UK against cyber attacks.Using the Conservative slogan for the upcoming election – 'we can’t go on like this' – Cameron says that current government departments aren't prepared for the threats we face.
The Tory leader announced in a speech at Chatham House that he'd set up a National Security Council which would include a Cyber Threat and Assessment Centre to tackle increasing online crime. He says technology and computers and the internet are becoming 'bigger and bigger parts of our lives', which means cyber warfare will have a greater effect.
All these plans would come into action 'on the first day of a Conservative government', claims Cameron. The Tories say they would scrap ID cards as well as cutting down on government databases if they won the general election.
