Proceeding contribution from Dawn Butler (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.
Identity Cards Bill
The Bill does not give the police any extra powers. However, does my hon. Friend agree that although the police will not be allowed to stop someone and request an ID card on spec, the Bill does not stipulate that they cannot stop someone and ask for biometrics on spec? I hope that he can he confirm that they cannot do so under the Bill, as it would result in an electronic form of the sus laws which, we all know, disproportionately affect black and minority ethnic people?
