Proceeding contribution from Lord Mayhew of Twysden (Conservative) 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

What the Minister describes relates to the means by which the punishment can be enforced; it does not relate to the character of the penalty, which is a punishment—as she has virtually conceded. The punishment is criminal in character and, accordingly, ought not to be able to imposed save on proof of intention. That is what we are on about—and I am afraid that I have not grasped that the Minister has herself grasped that.
