Proceeding contribution from Viscount Bledisloe (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill 2005-06.


Identity Cards Bill

My Lords, the noble Baroness said that nobody was required to apply for a passport. Has it never occurred to her that many people’s employers may require them to travel? Granted, they can be sacked if they refuse to apply, but does she really regard it as very voluntary if you stand to lose your job? Does it therefore not matter because it is voluntary?
