Proceeding contribution from Lord Marlesford (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 13 July 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Identity Cards Act 2006 (Information and Code of Practice on Penalties) Order 2009.

Identity Cards Act 2006 (Information and Code of Practice on Penalties) Order 2009

My Lords, will the Minister kindly answer my fundamental point? If we have a perfectly good voluntary system of passports, which has its own database that is being developed to be more efficient and effective with biometrics and so on, why do we also need a voluntary system of identity cards with a new database? It is a very simple question.
