Proceeding contribution from Sammy Wilson (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Documents Bill.


Identity Documents Bill

I do not want to interrupt the hon. Gentleman's speech, which we are all enjoying, but does he accept that the ultimate irony in all this is that although ID cards were to remedy all of society's ills, as he has outlined, they were to be voluntary at first? There was to be an attack on social security fraud, terrorism and criminality, but people had to volunteer for it.
