Proceeding contribution from David Winnick (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 29 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill 2005-06.


Identity Cards Bill

Unlike my hon. Friend the Member for Broxtowe (Dr. Palmer), I have never been enthusiastic about identity cards and I have not changed my mind. However, I believe that, ultimately, the will of the elected Chamber must prevail. Among the critics, I am pleased—perhaps others are not—that the Home Secretary was willing to make some movement towards a compromise. I congratulate him on not being as dogmatic as he could have been. The compromise is acceptable, however much I dislike the scheme.
