Proceeding contribution from Baroness Neville-Jones (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 21 December 2010. It occurred during Legislative debate on Identity Documents Bill.


Identity Documents Bill

I repeat to the House that the Government believe that this legislation is compatible with the European Convention on Human Rights. I do not think that I am obliged to say whether or not we have consulted the law officers, nor to say what legal advice we have taken. However, we believe it to be compatible with the convention. As we take our duties seriously, that is a clear statement to the House that we believe that we are acting lawfully.
