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 want to make it clear that one cannot have two cards with different names. That may be what the noble Earl, Lord Erroll, was talking about. However, if one is a British national one can have a stage name, a maiden name and an ordinary name on the same card. The noble Lord, Lord Selsdon, made another point. I do not think that the card will contain the gender of the individual, but I have a feeling that the photograph will give a pretty strong indication. In nearly all cases, I suspect that there should not be a problem.
