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 shall deal with that point in a moment, but the basic fact is that the biometric data being collected for passports on this basis are broadly the same as those which will be collected for the ID card system. It is absurd, not to mention costly, to have the double process that the Lords want.
