Proceeding contribution from Denis MacShane (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 September 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Documents Bill.
Identity Documents Bill
It is a narrow point, but it is an important point. Since 1945, there have been many elections—although perhaps not recently—in which a party has said that if elected it would nationalise a private industry. The owners of the shares in that industry—even if the shares amount to £20 and were bought on the day of the election—always received due compensation. We do not confiscate without some compensation. That is a very important point of British democracy.
