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

Identity Cards Bill

: Is my hon. Friend aware that £62.8 million of the cost of identity theft is estimated to be the cost to the UK Passport Service of measures to counter such fraud? Obviously, that is much less than the cost of implementing this scheme. Moreover, the estimate of credit card payment fraud submitted by the Association for Payment Clearing Services is about a tenth of the Government’s figure. A growing problem is ““customer not present”” fraud, which identity cards will not deal with at all
