Proceeding contribution from Lord Gould of Brookwood (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.

The union opposite distorts what, to me, is a clear move towards a stage of compulsion. That is the first way. The second way—I know this is modern—is that we asked people.
