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


Identity Cards

My view is that we should do the minimum that we have to do. If data are submitted for a passport application, they will probably be retained in the passport database. We do not need to create a gargantuan list of items with biometric data attached. We do not need to store somebody's national insurance number and biometric data side by side with all the other items to which the hon. Gentleman is referring on a national identity database. We need a passport system.
