Proceeding contribution from Mark Oaten (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.


Identity Cards Bill

The Home Secretary has been telling us all afternoon that we should listen not to the academics but to the Home Office, so I am taking his advice and listening to the Home Office’s study, which shows those appalling failure rates. The system failed not in an academic study but in a live situation, with real people using the equipment.
