Ideally, the whip would be withdrawn from as many of the Labor rebels as possible. Weakening the Blair Government and the Labour Party is decidedly a positive step.

I believe that Parliament is due to discuss compulsory ID cards very soon. How likely is a rebellion on that issue?

One would hope that a backbench rebellion is imminent, lest civil liberties be engulfed by the Blairite flame.

More interesting is the education bill (which will change the administration of schools by taking powers away from the LEA's and giving them to individual schools). No one (if they're being honest) is sure how that one will go.
The Education Bill isn't due to come up until next year, if I recall correctly.
