Proceeding contribution from Baroness Kennedy of the Shaws (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 15 November 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.


Identity Cards Bill

Members of the Committee know that I am not in favour of identity cards because I have made that very clear in this House. I certainly believe that we should be strengthening the passport and I am happy about the development of that as a stronger means of identity. I am unhappy about the creation of an internal passport—the idea that as we move about in our daily lives we should be required and at times expected to prove our identity to authority.
