Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) 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

I think that is consistent with what I said. We want to reduce the number of documents that people have to hold. I cannot see the inconsistency here. We have a careful process for ensuring that a BID holder can have access at a later stage to a proper and full identity card. To finish one of the points about notification requirements, if someone has missed the announcement of a change in circumstances, we will be sensitive and will think very carefully before imposing any sanction. We have to operate the system reasonably.
