Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 16 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.
Identity Cards Bill
My Lords, if I thought that the purpose of the Government’s wording was to enable government departments to trawl through identities and discover people who were not receiving the benefits to which they were entitled, I would support it—but I am pretty sure that that is not their intention. If they want to stop benefit fraud, they should say so and not use words that indicate something else.
