Proceeding contribution from Patrick Mercer (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.


Identity Cards Bill

The old aphorism relating to any form of computer or intelligence work is, ““Rubbish in, rubbish out.”” Unless we get it right from the first principles, the card and the register stand little chance of success.—[Interruption.] I seem to have had the desired effect on my own Benches.—[Laughter.] We are getting the chance to check the dentures of one of my colleagues, thereby establishing his identity beyond doubt.—[Laughter.]
