Proceeding contribution from Baroness Scotland of Asthal (Labour) 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 was not necessarily dealing with just the theft of the card or the offences in relation to the register. However, the acts preparatory to, or part of, stealing identity currently covered in legislation but outwith those in the Bill would not fall within the rubric that the noble Lord proposes, particularly in relation to the potential three-year sentence—because both would be likely. In any event, I understand that the noble Lord will not pursue the amendment at this point.
