Proceeding contribution from Lord Phillips of Sudbury (Liberal Democrat) 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

It is not my case—and I do not think that it is anybody’s—that this proposal is ““utterly unaffordable””. The question is what we are setting about affording The difference between the estimates from the Government, at roughly £6 billion, and the LSE group at £19 billion to £24 billion or £25 billion is the sort of difference that one must do better with, before one legislates, as I think the noble Lord would agree.
