Proceeding contribution from Lord McNally (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.
Identity Cards Bill
My Lords, how simple is it? The House of Commons can have its way via the Parliament Act. What is it there for, if it is not for such an impasse—a rare impasse? I am as much a House of Commons man as the noble Lord, Lord Barnett, but to play with semantics about it is ridiculous. We have a right to say no, and the House of Commons has a right to prevail. That is simple.
