Proceeding contribution from Lord Gould of Brookwood (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 was responding to the comments made in relation to Orwell and surveillance, which seemed to me to exaggerate unnecessarily people’s fears about the Bill. That is my point. In debating these kinds of measures at this time, it is important to retain a sensible, realistic and common-sense view of matters, which, for the most part, the noble Lord does.
