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 am grateful to the Minister and am content to withdraw on that basis. I would be grateful if she could confirm with regard to the amendment to Clause 20(1)—the nub of which, as she reasonably put it, is that private prosecutions should not be able to use the provision—that there is a power in the Bill for the Secretary of State to make that clear and that nobody could rely on that subsection over and against a confining regulation.
