Proceeding contribution from Charles Clarke (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.


Identity Cards Bill

I will complete the quotation:"““More generally, the second chamber should be cautious about challenging the clearly expressed views of the House of Commons on any public policy issue. It is not possible to reduce this to a simple formula, particularly one based on manifesto commitments.””" I argue, therefore, that that doctrine exists and that it addresses the point made by the Lord Strathclyde.
