Proceeding contribution from Lord Phillips of Sudbury (Liberal Democrat) 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

Having heard the noble Baroness, I certainly do not want to strike out the clause because there are good bits in it. Perhaps we can contemplate the issue a little further. What she said about fingerprints might allow the Secretary of State to say to the police, ““If you have young tearaways who you’ve charged with public order offences or ASBOs, let me have their fingerprints and other information””. The Secretary of State could use this clause for a series of entries that would then be accessible to other government departments and public authorities.
