Proceeding contribution from Damian Green (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 September 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Documents Bill.


Identity Documents Bill

The right hon. Gentleman was in danger of coming close to a serious point, and I thought it deserved to be dealt with. I am sure he has read the Bill and the Identity Cards Act 2006 carefully, so he will be aware that the Government of whom he was such a distinguished and eloquent supporter for so many years wrote the legislation so that the ID card, which he says is to be confiscated, is not his property. The ID card has always been the property of the state, so he cannot run the argument that his property will be confiscated.
