Identity Cards Bill

I am grateful to the Minister for her response. My concerns are largely assuaged. I confirm my understanding of what she has said. She used the phrase ““traffic data””—that the authorisations given under this clause would form part of the traffic data that would be logged on an individual’s register entry. I know that when I use my card for verification of my identity in a shop or wherever, that is logged on my entry in the register and is accessible under paragraph 9 of Schedule 1. However, I am not perfectly certain that the authorisations are of that ilk and will be captured, albeit not for the 10-year period. Perhaps the noble Baroness could confirm that.
