Identity Cards Bill

I am grateful to the noble Lord for what he said about the quotation I used from the Select Committee’s report. I hope that he will take the opportunity to draw the Minister’s attention to it, as she was not in her place when I read it. This report is important, and I hope all Ministers will have it constantly in their minds. I should like to raise two points with the noble Lord, Lord Bassam, about the speech he just made. First—I hope I heard him correctly—he said the intention of the amendment did not need to be set out in primary legislation. Did he mean that it was quite adequate to set it out in secondary legislation? That is the obvious meaning, but if that is not what he meant, perhaps he could tell me so.
