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
I do not want to prolong this, but the subsection starts by saying:"““In prescribed cases an ID card may be issued””." Does the Minister have any idea what the prescription will be? This is not a blanket discretion for the Secretary of State to allow anyone he or she likes the look of to be given an ID card. Finally, there is no reference here to voluntarism. As the Bill is drafted, is it not possible that there could be an enforced issue of a card?
