Proceeding contribution from Martin Linton (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 July 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Identity Cards.


Identity Cards

I know that there are 54 places on the computer where the information can be put, but all the information other than name, date of birth, place of birth, nationality and address is identity information from other Government Departments—the national insurance number, the national health service number and so on. They are simply cross-references with other Departments. The only personal information on an ID card, as on a passport, will be name, age, date of birth, place of birth and nationality.
