Proceeding contribution from Lord Selsdon (Conservative) 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
On several occasions, in rather beaten-up parts of the world, which I shall not name, I have used my passport to demonstrate how important I was and how I could get out of the country. On two occasions I was asked, ““What is the name of the Secretary of State?””. I said, ““Ah, that is a secret; he is there by Royal Prerogative””. I was then asked, ““Is he a subject of the Queen?””. The Minister is saying that it refers to any Secretary of State.
