Legislative Programme and Budget Statement (Wales)

That may be a valid point, but, on the narrow point of ID cards, I could not see the point of them. I am happy that any discussion of changing the Human Rights Act 1998 has been dropped—something that I am sure has occurred because of a damascene conversion among its opponents on the Government Benches. I read earlier this week that the proposed Tory Bill of Rights has been severely criticised by very senior European jurists, but in principle we would be able to welcome the parliamentary reform Bill.
