I wonder whether the noble Baroness is right. There are already provisions in the Bill—she mentioned them herself—which allow prosecution for abuse of ID cards and the system. You have the prospect of using other parts of the clause which I do not object to—national security for example. If the identity theft was in connection with that, then it would be within the purview.
