Identity Cards Bill

My Lords, that shortens it. We can telegraphically impose all the debates that we have had about those issues into that one answer. With the leave of your Lordships, if I can be allowed, I will move on. The Government, in making the connection of issuing an identity card together with a passport, do not require the use of the identity card unless someone wishes to do so. That remains the same, and that is something on which we can all agree.
