Proceeding contribution from Lord Phillips of Sudbury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 16 November 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.


Identity Cards Bill

I wonder whether the noble Baroness is right. There are already provisions in the Bill—she mentioned them herself—which allow prosecution for abuse of ID cards and the system. You have the prospect of using other parts of the clause which I do not object to—national security for example. If the identity theft was in connection with that, then it would be within the purview.
