Identity Cards Bill

On the same point—the conflict between Clause 1(5) and what comes later—validation information as defined in Schedule 1 is very much a catch-all. Schedule 1, paragraph 7(d) says:"““particulars of any other steps taken or information obtained (otherwise than in connection with an application mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b)) for ensuring that there is a complete, up-to-date and accurate entry about that individual in the Register””." That suggests to me that you will record any information and that that catch-all overrides all these other bits and pieces that we say are protections. This is probably not for full debate now, but all these intermesh and I am not quite sure where we should debate that issue. Like the noble Lord, Lord Phillips, I think there is a conflict between these two parts of the Bill.
