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

Identity Cards

May I bring the Home Secretary back to the subject of the efficacy of identity cards? I accept that he has not claimed that identity cards would have prevented 7/7. The challenge for him is to identify any criminal activity that the introduction of a voluntary system of law enforcement would have prevented. Unless he can do that, he cannot demonstrate that identity cards would be efficacious in delivering the public policy objectives that the Government claim.
