Proceeding contribution from Earl of Erroll (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 31 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Protection of Freedoms Bill.


Protection of Freedoms Bill

I was trying to make that same point, although not as well. Does the noble Lord remember being very embarrassed when he was at school by some of the things that his parents did because they did not understand how things were at school? That is the huge danger here. Some parents will be wound up by the Daily Mail into deciding to opt out of providing biometric information and their child will feel incredibly embarrassed because they stand out in class. That could get quite serious. Children may know better in this instance than one thinks.
