Identity Cards Bill

It rather proves my point in that now instead of each local authority issuing its own card we will have one card that everyone will carry that will be of enormous benefit to them. Those are the facts. People in Scotland will wish this card as much as people elsewhere, because they will see the advantages of it. I am sorry to see the Front Bench opposite putting an argument that came very close to suggesting that people in Scotland should have a Scottish passport. That is a dangerous route for the party opposite to go down.
