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


Identity Cards

The right hon. Gentleman suggests that there was never any mention of terrorism. The Prime Minister described identity cards as an important weapon in the war against terrorism, and said that it was crucial to the destruction of terrorism that we should be able to spot quickly where multiple identities are being used. For the Home Secretary to stand there and say that the Labour party has never claimed that ID cards would be useful in the fight against terrorism is simply wrong.
