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


Identity Cards Bill

Does the Minister recognise the public’s concern that the costs of the scheme might be better spent on more police officers on the beat and tighter border controls? There is natural suspicion that the costs of any Government procurement scheme, especially one involving IT, are likely to exceed the amount stated, not fall below it.
