Proceeding contribution from David Davis (Conservative) 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 in a moment, the hon. Lady need not worry. To do that, the right hon. Gentleman is forced to the ludicrous assertion that passports are somehow voluntary too. He said that, in terms, the other day. Later this year, the World Cup tournament will be held in Germany. When I travel there to support the England team, and I tell the German immigration office, ““I’ve not brought my passport because the Home Secretary tells me it’s voluntary,”” I am sure that that officer will be very understanding.
