Proceeding contribution from Gwyneth Dunwoody (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.

Identity Cards Bill

Surely we know what any Government would say at that point. They would not say, ““This is a question of principle: should we or should we not hold all this information about our people, who have committed no crime and who are not in themselves criminals?”” They would say, as Governments always say, ““We don’t know why you are arguing about this now. You gave up that principle when you accepted the primary legislation.””
