Proceeding contribution from David Winnick (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.
Identity Cards Bill
If we should not be at all concerned about these proposals, following all the reassurances that my right hon. Friend is giving, why would the Information Commissioner say that the ID card would be an ““unnecessary and disproportionate intrusion”” into our liberty? Should not we take Mr. Thomas’s comments very seriously indeed? Is it not also a fact that, if we had a free vote on the Bill tonight, it would certainly be thrown out?
