Identity Cards Bill

I have some sympathy with the amendment tabled by the noble Earl, Lord Northesk. If we track the drafting of the Bill and look at Clause 1(5), we see that a,"““‘registrable fact’, in relation to an individual, means . . . his identity””." We look then at subsection (7), which says:"““In this section references to an individual’s identity””," include the date of his death. But when you look back at subsection (5)(e) it refers to ““his current residential status””. I am not sure what the residential status is going to be of someone who has died. The drafting really does need cleaning up.
