Proceeding contribution from Lord Hylton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 6 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.

Identity Cards Bill

My Lords, when the Minister replies for the Government will he says something about subsection (7)(d), that uses the words ““the date of his death””, which reminds me of Gogol’s famous novel, Dead Souls. I can see that the living may sometimes want to impersonate the dead, but does there not come a time when the dead should be decently interred? How long will the names of the dead be kept on the national register?
