Proceeding contribution from Baroness Scotland of Asthal (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

Only physical characteristics are capable of being used to identify a person, so I cannot imagine health status being compulsorily registrable. I can see someone wanting to include certain specific information under the voluntary forms of registration if the Home Secretary of the day allowed that category of information to be capable of being registered.
