Business of the House

The Government share entirely the hon. Gentleman’s concern about identity fraud. It is a problem for both the public sector and, crucially, the private sector, which is one of the reasons why the Government are bringing forward proposals for a system of identity cards. So on the next occasion that we debate the matter in the House, I look forward to the hon. Gentleman’s support, otherwise he is simply raising issues with no intention of doing anything about them.
