Proceeding contribution from Lord Soley (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 17 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Documents Bill.
Identity Documents Bill
I am listening with some puzzlement. I am not a lawyer, but the Minister has signed off this Bill as being compatible with the convention on human rights. Yet this identity document is the possession of the Government—it is a government-owned thing—and she is confiscating it without compensation. Would it not be wise to take legal advice as to whether she would face a legal challenge if she went ahead with this?
