Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Documents Bill.


Identity Documents Bill

Does the Home Secretary recall that the Labour party's manifesto in 2005 had a commitment to introduce a voluntary ID card scheme? Does she recollect that it was the Labour party that won that general election? In what way was it illegitimate—or, indeed, ““stupid””, to quote my hon. Friend the Member for Vauxhall (Kate Hoey)—for people then to buy a card that was legitimate and had been set out in the manifesto of the winning party?
