Proceeding contribution from Julian Huppert (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Documents Bill.


Identity Documents Bill

I am sorry to intrude on an Attlee versus Churchill argument, but the hon. Gentleman should perhaps remember that Clarence Willcock was a Liberal candidate, and when asked to explain what he did, he said:"““I am a Liberal and I am against this sort of thing.””" That is a clear precedent. Had there been a Liberal Government at that time, ID cards would definitely have been scrapped.
