Identity Cards Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Stoddart of Swindon (Independent Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 23 November 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on Identity Cards Bill.

I accept that there is no power in the Bill to take DNA samples. If the Government wished to have such a power, would they have to introduce primary legislation?
