Identity Cards Bill

My Lords, I regard this as good political advice from the Front Benches. One of the points people raise whenever they talk about this Bill, as I said on a previous amendment, is the addresses they have to give from the past. Something else nearly everyone says is, ““Are they going to want our DNA?”” They find that enormously threatening. It is perhaps something one can argue against, but it is a genuine emotional anxiety people have, partly through not understanding exactly what DNA is, or its potential for them. The Government might do very well to take the advice of this amendment.
