Proceeding contribution from Baroness O'Cathain (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 13 November 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Security Industry Authority.


Security Industry Authority

My Lords, I have two questions. First, the Minister said that there was advice to employers on these checks. Is that advice used inside government as well as there being advice from government to employers? Secondly, twice in answers to questions today the Minister has mentioned ID cards. As he is obviously a security expert, is it not true that Mohammed Atta, who flew one of the planes into the twin towers on 11 September 2001, had perfectly good identity cards and absolutely everything was known about him? To bring up ID cards on this issue, when we know that we shall have more and more discussions on them, is probably a red herring.
