I am sorry to ask the Minister to give way at 9.35 pm, but she was just talking about something that confuses 99 per cent of the Chamber, I would guess. It is pretty central to all this, because if the Government’s claims about the certitude of the process using biometric data are well founded, that goes quite a way towards easing some of the concerns we all have about that.
I own up to not understanding biometric capture and verification, the 13 different types of biometric this and that, and so on. Would it be possible, even helpful, if the Minister’s team were to put together a document that attempted to explain this in children’s language? That would aid future debate. I may be on my own about this.
