Proceeding contribution from Lord Phillips of Sudbury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 December 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.


Identity Cards Bill

The noble Lord should not come from Brighton; then he would understand what it means. Who makes the application and who responds to it? Applications for information are made by whom? What will the Government proscribe in terms of individual entries? This whole clause is riven by references to proscription of this and that, which means that we do not have in front of us all the detail, which all comes hereafter. Will the Government undertake not to allow third-party access to paragraph 9 information—the highly sensitive information referred to in paragraph 9 of the first schedule—except where expressly allowed by the Bill? Finally, what does the last phrase mean? With that, I think that I have bamboozled the Minister if I have not bamboozled everyone else. I beg to move.
