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

Identity Cards

The issue is about more than the fact that we do not need to do this. I feel sympathy for my hon. Friend in dealing with the slow learners on the Government Benches. We are talking about a risk. The Government have already lost 25 million records. What will happen when they lose every other record—when they lose the metadatabase with access to all the databases in the Government? This is a serious danger; it is more than an inconvenience.
