Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 1 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Identity Documents Bill.


Identity Documents Bill

I am sorry to disagree with the noble Baroness, but, with the greatest respect, first, clearly, this impact assessment was produced in a hurry, because it is such a mess. Clearly, on page 2 of the impact assessment, it is shown as option 1. Yet, on the front page, option 1 is the ““do nothing”” option, whereas option 1 on page 2 is the option to cancel ID cards without refunds and no requirement to return cards. But when I look at the first section of policy option 1 on page 2, under the cost figures of £22 million, the costs include the cost of the refund process. I rest my case.
