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
The ID cards will not have a database behind them. The previous Government decided that the database should be separate from the passport database. It is not possible to join up the two databases because they are not compatible; that is one of the problems. This database will not exist. Therefore, the ID card, although it might be regarded as a courtesy proof of age, for instance in a pub, will have no legal validity at the border. The receiving country might be willing to accept it, but I fear that the individual might not get back into this country because they would have to show a document that had a database behind it.
