Proceeding contribution from Earl of Northesk (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 31 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.

Identity Cards Bill

My Lords, I hate to be a nuisance but will the noble Baroness confirm that the International Civil Aviation Organisation has been absolutely adamant that what is not required as an international standard is a biometric passport; what actually is required is a digitised version of the biometric? That is one of the fictions which the Government consistently parade as a justification for the Identity Cards Bill. It is very important that it should be knocked on the head.
