Proceeding contribution from Lord Henley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 29 November 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Protection of Freedoms Bill.
Protection of Freedoms Bill
As I said, my Lords, there is a balance. What the noble Lord is advocating could also lead to a great many miscarriages of justice, as the noble Earl, Lord Erroll, pointed out. I appreciate that noble Lords opposite would like to bring in identity cards and a national database of the DNA of every person in the country. We do not go down that route; we feel that there should be an appropriate balance between what is kept and what is not. That is why I would reject the amendments. I give way to the noble Baroness.
