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


Identity Cards Bill

The hon. Gentleman raised that matter during previous stages of the Bill’s consideration. We will debate costs when we consider Lords amendment No. 1. The most recent estimate of the cost of identity fraud throughout the country is £1.7 billion. That is a significant amount, so we must address the problem.
