Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.
Identity Cards Bill
The Home Secretary referred to our exchange on Monday. If Lord Strathclyde is right to say that the Lords should act only when there is a significant amount of public support, may I remind the right hon. Gentleman that the latest poll that he cited shows that public support for the position taken by the Lords is 10 per cent. higher than was the support for his party at the general election? The numbers in respect of the share of those who voted are about the same, so he surely cannot argue that the Government are justified on this issue, and that the House of Lords is not this?
