Proceeding contribution from Lord Crickhowell (Conservative) 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

Before my noble friend withdraws her amendment, the Minister effectively said that I had got it wrong and then gave a very interesting speech, but never actually explained why I had got it wrong. It seemed to me that I had got it absolutely right, and that the powers available to the Secretary of State would be almost unlimited. I am not suggesting that they will all be used in a wicked way. None the less, they are unlimited and will be available to future governments.
