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

The short answer to the question asked by the noble and learned Lord, Lord Lyell, is no. The answer to the question asked by the noble Lord, Lord Phillips, is that I still say that we are covered by Clause 18, because designation does not prevent Clause 18 applying. Compulsory registration is defined as an order under Clause 6. ““Subject to compulsory registration”” is defined in Clause 43(1) as meaning,"““required by virtue of section 6 to be entered in the Register””," not as the result of designation. So Clause 18 protection will still apply. I can see why the noble Lord believes that it does not, but it does.
