Identity Cards Bill

We have been in a different phase of the scheme. The debate has been happening in the House and in another place and, in those circumstances, one might expect that people would not want to intrude on the debate. I suspect that, now the scheme has received a pretty strong endorsement from the House, there will be considerable interest from the private sector in delivering it. I would be surprised if that were not to be the case. I am confident that the capability exists within the market to deliver a high-quality scheme.
