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 ask the hon. Gentleman, in a genuine spirit of mystification, whether he is suggesting that the Passport and Records Agency should issue passports, but not keep a record of the people to whom it has issued them. If he is suggesting that it should keep such a record, what would be the difference between that and the national identity register, other than the fact that there would be a duty—as there already is for those with driving licences—to update the information when a person changes address?
