Proceeding contribution from Earl of Onslow (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 15 November 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.
Identity Cards Bill
I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Phillips. This is important. As I understand it, biometric capture recognises your fingerprint. Biometric verification is when you put this into a machine and the central database does not recognise it. If this is the case and it does not work, and we spend the money—although the Government do not know how much they will spend—on something that does not work, and which is irritating and an offence against our liberties, it would be quite a silly thing to do.
