Identity Cards Bill

I support my noble friend. He referred to our previous debate on this issue on 23 November on an amendment that I moved. In withdrawing that amendment, I stated that I thought I had opened another can of worms, but I made it clear that I would reflect further before we reached Report. So it would not be appropriate for me to comment in detail on my noble friend’s amendment save to say that he has managed to find even a few more worms in the can. I look forward to the Minister’s response by letter to my own amendment.
