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


Identity Cards Bill

Is the hon. Gentleman as shocked as me that, contrary to the Home Secretary’s assurances that Irish citizens will have to hold an ID card or be on the register, the Irish Nationality and Citizens Act 1956 and the Ireland Act 1949 mean that Ireland’s citizens in the UK are treated as UK citizens in UK law and will therefore not be required to hold an ID card or appear on the register?
