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


Identity Cards Bill

No, I will not give way to my hon. Friend. There is very little time left and if I give way someone else will not be able to speak. The right hon. Member for Haltemprice and Howden raised a second, more general point against identity cards on the grounds that having such a biometric database would effectively open up the way for fraudsters, terrorists and anyone else to access the system.
