Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (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

In the sense of a loyalty card, no, there is not. But I think that people will see benefits in a national identity card. I think that they already are. One of the primary benefits is that it will underpin and underline a person’s sense of confidence and security in their identity, a point which has been ably made at different times by both sides of the Committee.
