Proceeding contribution from Baroness Neville-Jones (Conservative) 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

Option 2 was the preferred option, as I have made clear. That is the option that we are discussing. I am afraid that there is an error simply on page 2. The figure of £22 million was also queried. That is the cost of decommissioning in the first year. The Government take the view that it is not a sensible use of public money to throw further costs behind this scheme, and that the right thing to do with taxpayers’ money is to cancel this scheme but not to pay refunds. Accordingly, I invite the noble Lord to withdraw the amendment.
