Proceeding contribution from Baroness Scotland of Asthal (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 December 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.

Identity Cards Bill

Of course I hear what the noble Lord says. I have been as crystal clear as I can be in relation to these issues and I have also said that the way of avoiding such penalties is simply to comply. I have made it clear that the Secretary of State can waive all or any penalty in relation to this matter because these provisions are provided simply for compliance. I have answered the question posed by the noble Lord, Lord Stoddart, three times to the effect that imprisonment will not follow.
