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


Identity Cards Bill

My hon. Friend, who comes to the matter with some years’ experience in the financial services industry, is entirely right, as was the hon. Member for Birmingham, Selly Oak (Lynne Jones). By not giving a candid explanation, the Government are falling down in their obligations to the House and to the public. I suspect that the United States Congress got more candour out of the Pentagon on the projected costs of the stealth bomber than we are getting out of the Government on the IT project that we are discussing.
