Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 5 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

Before the Minister leaves the point, perhaps I may say what mystified me. If one can designate with the ID card, there is no question of it being combined with another document, unless the Minister is saying that there is a blank identity card and the BID is merged into it. Why do the Government need to do this? Can they not simply designate the existing BID as an identity card under the Identity Cards Act?
