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


Identity Cards Bill

I shall make this intervention as constructively as I can. The simple truth is that the test is not simply whether the system will be better than that which we have now. Given that we will be spending a large sum, we must consider whether the system will be the best that might be available. Plenty of identity card systems do not challenge individual privacy or require massive central databases, but are far more secure than the system that the right hon. Gentleman proposes.
