Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 December 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill 2005-06.


Identity Cards Bill

I am grateful for the noble Lord’s brevity. We need to have some flexibility in circumstances where it might not be possible for an individual to provide a fingerprint or other biometric data. That is all we are seeking to do and all that this provision does. I hope that answers the point about which the noble Baroness was concerned. If it does not, I shall go further.
