Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 23 November 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.


Identity Cards Bill

I am sure that that will be the case. I hesitate to say it, but I believe that the passport service is one of the most efficient and effective IT-based organisations in the UK. It has a tremendous reputation, and many of your Lordships would attest to that. History shows that it had some difficulties, but I am convinced that it will work well. The same approach that is used by the passport service will work for ID cards.
