Identity Cards Bill

I want to ask a question. I have listened with great interest to the exchange that we have had on very important issues. I hope that the noble Baroness will put the letter that she writes to my noble friend Lord Pearson of Rannoch in the Library or that she will make it available to those who have taken part in this debate. But I am not clear whether she has said that all the points covered by my noble friend’s amendment are exactly as my noble friend said they should be. We have been so engaged on the issue of the Select Committee’s exact position in Europe that I, for one, am confused. I simply want to know whether my noble friend’s requirements are met and, in that case, is the Minister able to accept my noble friend’s amendment?
