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

Identity Cards Bill

With great respect to the right hon. Gentleman, that sounds to me like a pretty typical report from the members of the Home Affairs Committee. They say, ““We concede that this is a matter of fundamental importance to the relationship between the individual and the state, but it doesn’t matter: we’ve got a whole range of other reasons that we can invoke for making such a change.”” We have seen some pretty remarkable Select Committee reports over the years, but that one just about takes the biscuit.
