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

Identity Cards Bill

I began by addressing both amendments. I said at the beginning that the amendment of my right hon. Friend the Member for Holborn and St. Pancras (Frank Dobson) struck the right balance and did not fetter us in seeking best value from the market, and that the Lords amendment was unprecedented in dealing, as Mr. Speaker said, in matters of privilege. I addressed them very directly at the very beginning of my remarks.
